This may sound caveman style, but I used to just cut of the connector with a 
little bit of coax remaining. I'd unsolder the center pin and shake it out then 
suspend the connector over a gas stove burner then with a pair of pliers pull 
out the coax stub. If necessary clean out any melted dielectric., heat again 
and shake out any remaining solder. Been doing this for 60 years.ArtN2KA
