The class setup is rework tweezers. It's basically a double tipped solder iron and you can just pick up the part off the PCB with hot tipped tweezers. But us poor-folk just heat both ends of the part at once with a larger tip solder iron then push the part sideways off the pads with the iron. Also try lifting with normal tweezer while cycling the iron from pin to pin. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
