[MRCA] WS19 Pye coax connector query

[DSP3]

Gentlemen,

As some of you know, I have/use a WS19 MKII on 75 meters, occasionally.  
I want to replace the  antenna SO-239 with an original Pye connector.  
Courtesy of one of our group, I have the requisite connectors for the 
front panel of the radio.  I also have a footlocker full of Pye coax 
cable jumper from WWII.  All are possibly usable but I'd like to 
re-build one and use new coax.  I have taken apart a Pye connector to 
the extent that I got the clamp off OK and removed the internal brass 
ferrule/sleeve. What I can't figure out is how to get the center 
conductor out?  I had to cut and pull the old coax out in pieces and 
that worked out OK.  There is a stub of the center conductor left and it 
goes up into the connector body via a clear plastic disk insulator.  It 
then "attaches" to the right-angle female receptacle, internally. My 
question is, how does one get the center conductor un-soldered or 
unattached?   Or... are these one-time connections?
