Hardened rubber insulation can be moved about for service if it is heated with a hot air gun. The rubber will harden once it is cooled into a new position. That meas working around hot wire but generally we poke the pliers or soldering iron in for rework... In most cases the insulation will remain intact, if not there is always replacement with PVC or some suggestions of silicon covered wire (looks a lot like old rubber)...
The heat method is very useful with transformer leads as they are often very difficult to recover with heat shrink.
