    Of course you do not want to overheat your nice piece, but you
    apparantly need more heat than you have been using. Whenever I need
    to unsolder something, such as a chain end, I put the small part in a
    third hand clamp and suspend the piece in the air. Then I heat, and
    as soon as the solder foows, the piece falls onto my soldering block.
    It is a good method to get the pieces apart, and use no more heat
    than needed. Go in fast with good heat. Do not be timid, but pull out
    as soon as it falls apart. 

    Best wishes to you!
