The final caps to rebuild are the axial electrolytics. I carefully un-knurl the negative end of the cardboard tube and push the cap out.

The can is thin, soft aluminum - very easy to cut through. I then wash out the insides and drill a small hole in either end.

Then a little hot glue to close the can back up. Finally, I knurl the cardboard tube back over and use a little glue.
