George,
As a solder Instructor, I have found that pre-heating the board before
trying to remove the component seems to work. This brings the heat of the
module up slower and reduces the amount of stress fractures caused by
direct heat.
I would try a Hakko 853 preheater. Heat for @ 1 minute, then de-solder.
