See that little key-shaped bolt on the very top between the bushings? That's
the only thing holding it on besides a slight vacuum seal. Take that off and
give it a slight pry with a screwdriver. Be careful not to break the hv
connections, usually not alot of extra length to move the top.  Has a beam
running across the inside of the can that this bolt screws into, making
taking the core out a major pain.
