Yup, bake-n-shake works. That board cost me something like $5 and I was practicing to do meatball surgery on $7 boards. }:)

With the vast majority of the pins loose from the solder sucker, the nail nipper's pressure across the width of the connector didn't put much tension on the recalcitrant Pin-PCB Solder Joints. I'd never use the nipper parallel to the board, only perpendicular to it for crushing the connector from the sides . . .

. . . unless it really aggravated me! }:)
