[Elecraft] In The Ham Radio Shack SMT Work What Tools Are Required..?

[n4lq]

I have changed a few SMTs and it's not easy no matter what people tell you. 
I used a product called Chip Quick.
Go here: http://www.chipquik.com/
Their solder melts at 135 degrees F., mixes with the original solder and 
makes chip removal much easier. Resoldering is the touchy part! 73
