Yes. Drill out the rivets around the circumference of the can and pull the end off. Should the be able to remove the wadding and repack with new stuff.

Don't forget to use some decent blind stainless rivets, and silicon sealant at the joint. Also make sure the perforated tube is in reasonable condition and fits tightly, or it'll rattle.
