Cheers,
i was using 400 degrees heat, and about half way on air flow with a 4mm nozzle, and waving it around the legs of components in a circle.
after i decided there was no salvaging the kph speedo, i decided to harvest the components off it.
how on earth should i have got the 5 legged TOP style unit off (top left) it has 4 heatsink/ground pads under it holding it on the board, i broke it trying to desolder the legs first, then noticed the board was bubbling when trying to heat it to get the body off the board... i guess heat from the other side of the board?
