Oh my goodness a slug-tuned one? Um, if it were me, I'd order the
correct one I need, and remove the one that's soldered in with being
kind to the circuit board in mind and kind or unkind to the inductor
itself as needed. I've had good success over my tronics career re-using
parts I've had to remove but good practice is to slap in a new one if
one is available at all. 73 de Alex NS6Y

Chris,
If you have access to a desoldering iron, you could use that -
desoldering
braid MIGHT work, but there are 5 leads to that inductor plus the two
shield
grounding tabs, so it may be tough to remove in one piece.
MOST IMPORTANT - preserve the PC board!!! If you have difficulty
getting
the inductor out in one piece, crush the inductor with pliers or other
instruments of destruction and remove the pins one at a time. Do what
you
must to preserve the PC board. Elecraft will send you a replacement
inductor for an insignificant price (maybe even free if you ask
nicely).
BTW - you may want to include everyone on the Elecraft reflector in
your
'approved' email list if you desire quick responses off-reflector -
your
*SPAM* email bouncing filter is an irritation to most everyone, and I
for
one will NOT fill out the required response 'forms'.

I have soldered the wrong inductor for L30 what is the best way
to unsolder it I think this could be a problem to get it out
Hope to hear from the group soon Chris
