You can't pry open the metal charcoal canisters. But you can drill a 3/4" hole in one end; remove the old charcoal; and then re-fill it with new activated charcoal as used in fish aquariums. You then put a standard 3/4" plumbing pipe plug in the hole you drilled. There is a thread here somewhere, and maybe even a video on YouTube on how to do it by drilling a hole and refilling the charcoal canister with new charcoal. Might even be a thread in the Samba's VW 411/412 or Bug section on how to do it. All the early 1970's VW cars used the same or a similar metal body charcoal canister to what was used in our Porsche 914's before they all went to plastic canisters. |
