[Elecraft] Day 1: Fried something already?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

If you can see right through the holes, grab each pin and wiggle it. Even
though there's no visible solder left, the thin film "tinning" each hole and
the corresponding film on the inside of the plated hole can be surprisingly
strong. Wiggle each pin separately and so it actually moves around in the
hole a bit, then the relay should literally fall out.

Well, I received my replacement parts today, but so far in spite of my  
best efforts, I've been unable to desolder the K12 relay from my RF  
board. I've used a combination of solder wick and a pump, and I can  
see though the holes at this stage, but I still can't get the relay  
free! What's the preferred method of doing this?
