Do you need to retain the part you are removing?  If not, why not just cut
the leads, remove the part then unsolder the remaining lead extensions.

Subject: [TN] Through Hole Oscillator Removal


> 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.
