    Did it with my 40 watt iron. The part I found most difficult was removing the burnt resistor. Everytime I'd heat up the back side, id drop the iron and grab my pliers to grab the resistor and pull, but by that time it would have cooled off. Those helping hand clips must be pretty helpful.

    That is why you have 2 hands Set the board on the bench, or use a vise.

    I use one of these.. if you find yourself doing a lot of board work, you may want one. I have an expansion bar so I can put a board as big as a WPC power driver board in it. The base is weighted so it won't tip over.
