Go to radioshack, spend $12 on a desoldering iron, use it effectively. It's a lot cheaper than replacing all the boards you could ruin otherwise.

Actually it was a 100% correct and appropriate response.

Google "de-soldering" and read up. Buy the right tools. Practice a bit on old broken boards and you'll get it.

It's that simple.
