This is about the simplest SMD work one can do, but I would *strongly*
recommend you find a scrap SMD board and practice removing and soldering a
few resistors first. Almost any scrap board (like an old modem) should have
some resistors. I've not had any problems removing components like Rs and
Cs using a single Circuit Specialists clone of the Hakko 936 with a 1.6mm
chisel tip at 700 degrees. I found the resistors easily slide off after
alternately heating each side, but you definitely should practice first.
