How thick was the wafer? they are usually are as thick as the bottom bump in the side and have a black rubber sheet in them to act as a seal. Once you get the wafer and terminals out you should see the bottom of the plate/dielectric roll (and possibly tar). If the roll ain't loose I use a cork screw to remove it.
I gave up trying to un-wire and un-crimp the bottoms a good while ago....I kept getting bad cuts on my hands doing the un-crimp plus all the un-wiring/rewiring is tedious. What I do is on cans that have a cardboard sleeve is pull off the sleeve, cut the can off ~1/2" up, drill ~5 VERY small holes through the wafer, for the leads, install new caps and reinstall the cardboard sleeve(can top optional). Cans without cardboard I like to use metal foil duct tape to rejoin the can top. Under chassis cans I don't bother with the tops.
