Anybody have tips on removing a 16F877 from a PCB without destroying the board ? (i don't have one of those expensive
desoldering stations)

I know those spring-loaded plunger types are useless, they will ruin a PCB 99% of the time.

Chem-Wick stuff doesn't pull enough of the solder out of the hole (plated thru)

How about those rubber-bulb things with a soldering iron mounted on I've seen at Radio Shack, do they work worth a
darn ?
