De-soldering has many possible facets, and which one you use will depend on your experience, tools available and to a certain extent the amount of "stubbornness" you want to tolerate. Each connection is different.
I routinely use a Hakko 808 desoldering iron, but there are times when a slender tool (narrow tipped long screwdriver) will do a good job of prying the component up off the board, and the 2nd lead can easily be removed - for multi-legged components that process can be much complex.
