I successfully reflow soldered the surface mount 6.8 ohm resistor across R82 in my K3S today. It took me a while to get my courage up, but it worked out well.
In the kind of reflow soldering I used, you melt some solder and flux on the tip of a temperature controlled iron, and then, while holding the SMD part to be soldered to the board in its final location, touch the iron tip to the surface mount part one one side and then the other until it heats up and solder flows (the "reflow"). It's hard to hold everything perfectly still, but you can take a couple cracks at it until you get it right.
