For testing the process I tried to do the rework on a NEO1973 and promptly got into trouble - I was not able to remove the capacitor! Is it possible that it is glued to the board? I tried a hot-air rework station but it kept stuck. Then I tried with two (!) irons simultaniously heating both ends of the cap - both ends were fluid but it still did not move.
The only explanation I have is glue ;) If desoldering does not work (reliably) I will have to do the rework with rework wire as shown on the picture by Dieter - but I would much more like to actually replace the cap. So I would happy to exchange soem rework experiences here! How did others do it? How did it work? Many thanks in advance!
