Removing claw (einhak) mounts 🤔

[Sika98k]

I picked up this Kahles 3-9x42 scope some years ago. The deep glossy finish on the scope looked fitting for a classic rifle. The reticle was broken so I sent it back to Kahles to be replaced and serviced. Nearly €200 later it was returned to me.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to remove the bases which are, presumably, soldered onto the scope ?

You use heat to un solder them then polish and reblue which is what the gunsmith would have done to fit them in the first place. It would have been better to have had it serviced afterwards.
