What do you mean by soldered?

 

[vacuser]

HEY KIRBYCOLLECTOR, CHECK THE PICTURES. SINCE I'M A NASA CERTIFIED SOLDERING PERSON, NO PROBLEM FOR ME.

It shouldn't be a problem to get the solder off.
There are soldering irons that have a bulb to suck the solder up when you de-solder things on a circuit board.
