I've posted some line on this subject in the "grado mod thread"...
I've tried hard to take them apart... nothing worked. I managed to scrap off some of the glue and made some test :
- it doesn't melt with heat, whatever the temperature. It's a dry material which just turn black ...
- it doesn't react to the chemical product I tried on it (goo gone, acetone..)
I end up cutting short the original cable (which is double wired by the way) and soldered my cable on it. It works very well this way.
Sorry but I think that's the only way you can have them recabled.
Not all HF-2 are the same. Some people had them with the standard hot glue.

Don't know if it's the case with HF-2s but at least with SR-325i the metal cups act like heat sinks. Therefore you need quite some heat. You could also try breaking the glue by using some tapered tool...
