Quoted from KenLayton:I just use a Hakko 808 desoldering gun. Makes quick work of it.
My 808 always worked most of the way. I usually had to apply pressure and usually just cut the component off the board.
Then a buddy used it and cranked the heat from 1.5 to 3. The component practically fell off the board. I use 3 on everything but heat stressed pads now.
