To remove LED's I use hot air station (find it much easier than an iron) but you need to be very careful on the IPC around the fuel & temp gauge and the needles, I do tend to use a soldering iron on them LED's just a smallish tip.
Be very careful too much heat and you could end up pulling a solder pad up.
After all LED's are removed I clean up the board with some Desoldering Wire & PCB Cleaner.
putting new leds on for the 0805 led's I use the hot air apply the solder to the board and then place in the 0805. Plcc2 I just use a soldering iron.
Note sure why you got PLCC4 tho there is no PLCC4 Led's Only LED's 0805, PLCC2 & PLCC2 Right Angle (although I just turn PLCC2 on their side.
