There is another alternative for removing SMD mulit-legged devices, and
it is called Quik-Chip.
You apply the special flux and the supplied solder and the chip
literally "floats" off its solder traces.
One must be careful to clean up the area with alcohol - if you do not
remove all the low temperature flux and solder, the new component will
not stick to the soldering.
You can get sample packages by asking. Google for links.

Ir's always interesting to me that these components can withstand heat
from a hot air gun that is high enough to melt solder, but I have done
this often with a heat gun made for hobby stained glass work. It's a
lot cheaper than the professional rework units.
