I desolder caps 603s, 805s and 1206s by wicking all of the solder of one side and then heating the other side while applying a small sideways pressure with the tip of the iron. The ceramic has small enough mass so that the solder on both sides should be molten enough to enable you to sheer the cap off the board without damaging the pads.
