Good Morning.

I have a PCB assembly where I need to remove a 4 pin through hole
oscillator and replace it with a different date code. (@5K units)

AirVac recommends that this removal be done by heating the bottom side via
a solder pot system to reflow the solder, remove the component, and replace
it with a new one.. Unfortunately, there are 3 capacitors on the bottom
side which lie in the vicinity of the through hole leads which would
necessitate a specially designed zozzle.

Does anyone have ANY other advice/recommendations for a system to
remove/replace through hole components from a PCBA. I am particularly
interested ina ny systems that can be leased as this is a one time usage
requirement.

As always, I appreciate your excellent advice.

Rgds,
John
