my zmax had a bit of a dodgy centre pin and so i thought id remove it and wrap it in ptfe tape but it was soldered to a wire and now i've broken the connection, does anyone know how to take the guts out so i can solder a longer piece of wire to the existing one in order to fix it back to the centre pin as the wire that inside is too short any help would be greatly appreciated :-[

Can't you just solder directly to the short wire that's already there?

It "looks" like it's been forced together much like the LT chrome. If that's the case, you could attempt putting a cone or mega ego tube on the end and VERY GENTLY wobbling it side to side while pulling. It works for Ego's.
Other people have managed to open LT chrome's by putting something very thin into the joint and lifting it around the edge bit by bit although I'm aware that it can be a pig to put back together.
Or just send it to macca lol
