First clear the smaller connections so you can slide a piec of paper umder the pins and leave it there then you need a pair of pliers to grip the plastic body of the regulator. Heat the tab this time adding a little solder you will soon feel the device move and you can remove it.<br /><br />You then can clean up the pad that will have the extra solder using solder braid or a solder sucker (Maplin)I dont use solder braid very often I use a small solder sucker for SMT or a large solder sucker for things with bigger pads.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solder_suckerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11790019375326311849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-32898004672656618952009-09-26T06:18:45.131-07:002009-09-26T06:18:45.131-07:00wow.

Thanks fo...wow. Sounds like you're having fun!<br /><br />Thanks for the detailed information. It's nice to have someone describing all the details. I've had to pack my stuff away for now, as we're trying to sell our house and move to a larger one - with a small workshop for my RepRap - yay! <br /><br />When I get my 'Rap working, I definitely need to upgrade to gen3 electronics, and eventually to a Mendel!<br /><br />Thanks <br /><br />DaveRAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046079586632841601noreply@blogger.com
