Testing Power Transistors in Adcom G565 power amp

On the Hoppe's Brain site, in the Q and A sections. he says the way you can properltest the G565's power transistors is two remove the bolts and nuts on the transistors and then left the leg of the emitter. I soldier sucked the emitter pin, but surely there is a chance in will make a connection with the board while doing to the test? I actually unsoldered both the base and emitter leads but I can see there would still be a connection....What am I doing wrong?
