If you knew the value of the 'resistors' that were going to live there, and you had them in your stash, you could install them in the proper place and put a jumper across them on the other side of the board. Then when it came time to install the other board, just clip the jumpers (or unsolder if you are a neat freak), which would be easier with a regular soldering iron.
This won't work in all cases since sometimes you might be installing a jumper header instead of a cap or resistor. If this isn't your cup-o-tea, then don't lay the original jumper that close to the board and make it easy to clip in half. Then all you have to do is heat the connection and LIGHTLY pull on the jumper with a pair of small forceps or needle nose pliers and then clean the hole with the Hakko. It's easier to clean out a hole with nothing in it than to try to force a lead out of a hole with insufficent heat. NRE/COLE Test Center OH-3 pcarter<at>gcfn.org or wd8qwr<at>arrl.net Philip L.
