    Yes it can be done........there are at least three (3) companies out there that do this work. Classic Auto Air in Florida is one, and Old Air Products in Fort Worth is another. PaceCarJeff is a third.

    It basically involves cutting the can open on a lathe at the weld seam, replacing the desiccant bag, and then TIG welding everything back together under an inert (n2 or argon) atmosphere. It is not something that one typically does at home, although if you have the tools and welding skills it can be done. Probably easier to send it out. About $100 or so.
