Three methods, all work, all require generous use of flux. 1.) Use a heated, electrical desoldering tool with flux. Just be sure that you select a forgiving desoldering tip with a rounded tip end to it so that you do not scratch the pad. Advantage:

Hi, Looking for views and some opinions on the best systems to use to clean pads (particularly BGA) prior to carrying out replacement of parts. I'm thinking of vacuum type desoldering systems. Obviously braid is an option which we currently use, but

You will need to prepare the component and site for rework. Using solder wick remove the solder from the pad site and the component balls. You can also use a heated Vacuum desoldering tool. To reball we have been using Winslow Automation reballing ki
