[Elecraft] Repositioning Components soldered too far from PCB

[Mark Bayern]

Any 'pushing' on the components risks damage to the board. I'd
consider it the same as rework.You either need a good desoldering
system and some skill to clear the hole, or you destroy the component
and replace it.

A practical solution is to simply live with elevated component.
