Removing Hobby King HXT 4mm Connectors?

[Shonen]

after some experimenting with removal techniques using a hammer/screwdriver and receiving some injuries, I decided the best way to reuse these will be to splice a new wire into the existing wire coming out from the connector. Don't solder too close to it when it's in the housing since the plastic will melt since the gauges are quite high (10 or 8 I think).
