On the caps that I provided a link to the brown paper is actually gummed paper parcel tape that we used to use years ago, before the Mylar stuff. If you can find any its quick and easy.
As others have demonstrated hopefully you can push the old paper and foil out with heat and a screwdriver, or as Nick suggested by soldering on some wires and grabbing those in a vice. Hold the hot cap in a gloved hand of course.
If you have a hot melt glue gun it has one advantage in that a hot air gun can be used in the future to remove the contents again.
