I think the next time I take a cover off of a pickup, I'm going to use a soldering iron and a solder sucker. I'm not too sure the Dremel idea is a good one, but that's the way it was done in the online article I learned my method from.

I'd love to hear feedback from others that have done this. I'm sure I could use a few pointers to perfect my technique.
Funny, I just posted on my guitar blog about this. It's a video by Mojo music and the guy uses a cool trick with a razorblade to seperate the solder from the cover.
