Don't know about the "desoldering" since mine have all failed due to a leak
in the tube and I've always assumed that this was a "factory only" fix (or
a specialist who would have to charge more than the price of new guage).
There is a fluid (alcohol?) in the tube I think.
I "coil" any excess tube VERY carefully. Think "no kinks".

I have always been advised to NEVER cut or break those tubes. The relative
pressure of the "mystery substance" inside has everything to do with the
function of the gauge (i.e. gage for GMer's).
