Luckily they’re cheap enough that you don’t have to save them for later use, so easiest approach is to cut off the legs close to the PCB and then use one of the techniques listed here to clear out the holes: > [@A litany of dumbassery](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/a-litany-of-dumbassery/526/108): > > Some options: Wick + extra flux (get a flux pen, and add extra flux to the wick before wicking) Manual desoldering pump (varying quality, most are a bit crap, I have an Engineer brand one that’s supposedly good but haven’t tried it yet, but even the crap ones can be useful for a first pass). Toothpicks, as mentioned (I think it was @analogoutput who [first suggested that](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/1113-performance-filter/14/9)) [Desoldering needles](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/1113-performance-filter/14/10) may work in some cases; less likely if the holes are tiny. Inertia – heat up the solder, smack the boar… --- _[View the full topic](https://lookmumnocomputer.discourse.group/t/2399-triple-splashback-solder-failure-any-chance-for-recovery/3206)._
