They will if you let them. I use a little wide tape and a couple of
business cards to surround the area. Also, a vacuum cleaner nozzle in
close. I aleays turn the rig over and shake it out. Never had a
problem and never came back in later and found a 'chip". I doesn't take
much and you can untwist the tabs and the can will fall out. You just
work a little v around the tab. Not necessary to remove all the solder.

I like to remove mass by first cutting out the caps
mounting tabs from the
can with a Dremmel tool. Then the remaining soldered
tabs are more easily
removed with a large solder gun. Of course you don't
rebuild this can once
this is done. If I rebuild a can I use a new old
stock one, maybe a 25 volt
one for the new caps case.

Bob,
Good feedback. In retrospect, I probably should have
gone with either a 100
or 150-watt iron with the high mass shaft ahead of the
tip. The perceived
size of these irons can be deceiving. I was very
surprised by the weight
and size of the 200-watt Hexacon iron. It's really
too large and heavy to
manipulate into small areas, especially where a lot of
circuit wiring comes
in proximity to the chassis can tabs.
