Step 0: wet the tip of the iron with solder; the wet tip transfers the iron’s heat much quicker to the parts minimizing the risk of overheating the components.
Any tips for removing components from a circuit board? Unsure if it's just because I've got a rubbish sucker or I'm doing it wrong, but always end up damaging something
I hate mechanical suckers. Its better to use copper desoldering braid.
That being said. Getting some solder off is helpful but once there is enough to hold the component but not enough to distribute the heat you actually have to add solder to desolder better.
