[Elecraft] Repositioning Components soldered too far from PCB

[Bob Tellefsen]

Buenos dias, amigo Rod

Try pushing with the eraser of a wooden pencil.
This gives you a non-skid pusher with a wood handle.
Also keeps finger tips from getting burned while
melting the solder to allow the part to move.

> I have tried the following:-
> 1. push with finger [too painful]
> 2. Use a glove [too bulky]
> 3. Use pliers [risk of damaging component]
> Possible solutions
> Push with Cork, with groove cut in end to reposition component
> Push with small Alligator clip.
