[Elecraft] Relay Removal ?

[Allan Bacon]

If you can get a desoldering tool with heated pencil and desolder vacuum built-in 
go for it. I got a Hako 808 and removed many remove components from 
boards without damaging components or boards on any PCB's. Double-sided, 
singles and multi-layer.

OK, while everyone seems to be on the subject of
stupidity...I just found I installed two of Elecraft's
ubiquitous latching relays incorrectly (after several
checks to make sure it was done right !).

Has anyone ever successfully unsoldered one without
serious damage to either the relay or the board ? If
so what technique did you use ?
