Generally these cans are made so that the parts are stuffed in from the base, then the leads are threaded through the baseplate and molten sealant is injected. The baseplate is then installed, usually with hollow rivets but sometimes with foldover tabs. Units filled with semi-liquid oil are a little more sophisticated, sealing-wise, and usually have solder lugs instead of just wires exiting the can.
All electrical nodes except for the center junction of the series-connected 0.1 uF caps are brought out of the can. If you suspect that you have a bad cap in the can, you can just bypass it externally with an axial-leaded part.
:You shouldn't need to open the can in order to test the capacitors and choke; and if you've never opened up one of these cans, you are in for a treat that you will not be eager to repeat! Usually they are filled with semi-toxic gunk (tar, pitch, gutta percha, or heavy oil) which must be removed before the components can be seen.
