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.
