Looks like you could compress the tabs but I was afraid of breaking them  .. Any thoughts??

Skip;
  You won't break those tabs from compressing them, they are quite tough actually. A pair of duckbill pliers will do the job quite nicely. I would not sleeve the wires, the cans are easy enough to get open and it's also an opportunity to inspect the coil inside, and replace any resistors, and a grid lead.
