Yes, it will remelt. That's the point, the extension wire is just temporary to help thread the old lead into the hollow base pin. It's meant to be removed.
Now that's all assuming the old leads coming out of the CRT are intact and long enough to extend down into the base all the way to the tip of the base pin. If they've broken off or been clipped, you'll need to attach permanent extension wires.
