I thought of unsoldering it too, it would be better than forcing it which we all know what happens when we do that. Like a good friend taught me, if you unsolder the socket or ever have to replace it, tack some wires onto the end of the leads with solder so you can pull them through the pins without worry of losing one or putting it in the wrong pin. Another fellow added by saying that each wire be longer than the last so they all will go straight in one at a time. Super glue the base when reinstalled.
