Towards the bottom, it shows how to restuff an electrolytic can. It takes a little more work, but it's a tidy method. I usually cut the old can open with a pipe cutter and dig the guts out. Then, I just use radial lead electrolytics (the smallest diameter available), drill holes at the bottom of the can for the leads, and put the whole can back in.
Sorry I'm a little late getting to the thread. |
On most can caps I've found using a cork screw to remove the old guts (once the can is open or cut off) is a very effective method.
