If you don't have the cap guts out and think removing the tar is the easiest way to get them free, then I have a little tip for you.

Once you have the bottom of the can with the terminals removed take an ordinary cork screw and screw it into the center of the dielectric/foil roll. Once the cork screw is in fairy deep grab the top half of the can in one hand, and the cork screw in the other and give it a good yank. the guts of the can should come out, and you can then chip the remaining tar out with a screw driver, or other methods like chemicals (goof off might work) or heat.
