Probably right. Might be able to freeze the pins into a block of ice and then hit the base with the torch. Ice might melt to fast though.
I like the soldering idea to. What I am going to attempt is drill the hole all the way through the block and then chamfer the holes on the cpu side. That way the solder can fill into the chamfer. I will stick the pins a little farther past the base so when it is lapped the copper will be exposed and the solder will be inside the chamfer area. I think that would be the easiest way to solder the pins in as opposed to trying it on the other side of the block with all the pins in the way.
P.S. sorry for the pics being down, my host has it's head up their ass....
