NOTE: Removing K1 is made more difficult because I was talked into using
63/37 solder ("it is the industry standard" HUMBUG!)and not my old
favorate
(and hard to find) 60/40 which stays plyable and workable longer. (this
reworkability is a big advantage, I have now discovered, to using 60/45)
Chip Quick is a low melting temperature solder and works well for removing
multi-pin components. You apply the flux, glob on the solder, and it stays
molten for a long time as you remove the component. Then you use solder
wick to clean up the solder from the board and alchohol to remove the flux.
Looks messy while in process but works very well.

Not cheap, but very effective.
