[Boatanchors] Replacing Components

JT,

I hate doing these replacements.

Best practice is to heat the whole solder joint and suck all the solder out 
as best you can with a solder sucker. Then reheat the joint and resolder. This 
is so you can then keep every thing melted again while you un wrap every thing 
on the lug. You then get to clean all the leads up and the lug. Then you 
replace one part and put every thing back on the lug and resolder.

This is real work. You risk breaking another lead or part while doing the 
work.

Second best is to clip the lead for the part coming out.
Wrap the new lead over the bundle and resolder. 
Not neat but it get the job done today.
