Heat & pry as well as soak methods are for RCA type cats (the white/moldy ones) only. For Zenith type cats (green halo) the guitar string method is the way to go...Some run high current through the wire to help the process, but if you let it have direct sun on a hot-ish summer day you can probably do it with cool wire.

Here is a video of one of three Zenith cat removals I did.

You make it look so easy! But I was scared the whole time that the 5 gallon bucket would tip over, or glass would break. You have convinced me I can do this, thank you!
