I bought a couple of these to try out.  I was preparing one for mounting in the 
amp and found the attached coax was a little too short so needs to be replaced. 
 I've attempted to disconnect the coax from the relay but all three lenghs of 
coax (COM, NC, NO) are attached via the same shield connector that has three 
solder connections to the relay.  I've tried heating all three solder joints at 
once with a butane torch, but the relay gets mighty hot and I think I may 
damage it. Any suggestions?

Also, are these considered "reed" relays? 

Thanks,
