I think your making a lot of work out of it. Simply heat the
outside of the can with a heatgun, and when the adhesion to
shell weakens you should be able to slide the inner assembly
out. There is absolutely no need to replace the old wax or
tar with new material once a new capacitor bank is assembled
and put into the can.
