The cheap way to unsolder SMT components (0402 and larger) is to buy several chisel tips at the local swap meet.  Then, using a swiss file, cut a slot in the tip corresponding to the size of the component to be remove.  The component is simply removed by holding the body with a pair of tweezers and apply heat to the two ends of the SMT component simultaneously.
