Hey

I need to replace some SOJ package rams and was wondering if anyone had any tips on doing this? I got a scrap pcb here with some SOJ CPUs fitted and was playing around with it tonight but can't seem to get it off without either over heating the chip or damaging a pad or 2

Ive done most SMD stuff before but SOJ i can't see how to remove and solder back on easy

Whats a good temp setting for my rework station to work correctly and what size nozzle do people recommend? i am using the smallest one i have which is 3 mm

Cheers
