My natural reaction would be that solder wick will never clear the 
solder which has been sucked deep into the joint by capillary action. 
The case/base look to be a pretty tight fit even without the solder.

Is it possible to clear all the solder just with solder wick or do you 
have some technique to get the last bit out?  Do you ultimately need to 
heat the whole of the length of the seam simultaneously to get it apart?
