It's Prodlin (spelling?).  A propane torch works just fine,

Subject: [Fourlanders] Soldering Iron For 7/8ths Hardline

Removed the connector today from that piece of 7/8ths hardline that I
mentioned earlier.  It is different than any hardline I have seen before.
The outer shield conductor is spiral instead of corrogated.  The connector
actually screws onto it!  Also the center conductor is copper clad aluminum
instead of a copper tube which leads to the real topic of this email.  The
center pin is soldered on and the largest soldering iron that I have
(150/200 Watt Weller Soldering Gun) doesn't have enough heat to melt the
solder and remove the center pin.  Does anyone have something that would do
the job?  Thanks.
