I saw a simple tip several years ago in an article on SMD in Model
Engineers
Workshop. Take a spade crimp, remove the plastic bit and "screw" the
crimp on to
a fine soldering iron bit. Either squeeze or prise open the spade to
fit the SMD
component - you can now heat both ends at the same time and lift off
with
tweezers.
This has worked for me using an Antex soldering station which is now
over 20
years old and still going strong.
I remembered I scanned a copy so here it is.
