SKCC Broken Stem

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to take apart SKCC switches without desoldering? I wasn't able to find any videos online for SKCC like I could for SKCM/L.

Here's a close up video. I recorded one without the macro lens and it came out much better. That's uploading now but I'll post once it's done.
Basically I think it's possible but I'm not positive, as I've always removed these switches. And by "always" I mean "the one time I had an SKCC board". I only had one switch to play with and it had a a bit broken off but the video shows how to get to the tab. You'll want to use something very thin. In the video I was using a sewing needle since I had it handy (don't ask). Maybe not quite as thin as a needle but hopefully you get the point. A paperclip, for example, is way too fat.
Okay the video finished uploading. Here's a much better view.
