Yeah, Soldapult on an ASIC sockets isn't fun, but it's certainly doable. I still carry mine with me in my tool case, along with a Hakko. Both great tools for what they are, but Metcal is the bomb.

That's awesome Ingo. I've mostly put together a presentation to do at shows that uses a similar technique. It actually goes over two different methods. One with professional equipment, done "the right way", and one done with just a soldering iron. Both get the job done with no damage to the board.
Of course one costs upwards of thousands of dollars in equipment and one, well...just needs a soldering iron. 
Just putting some final touches on it, and waiting for a show to want to add it to the schedule.
