i was trying to desolder ost junk caps at the cpu vrm out area from an asus p4c800-e deluxe board. the problem is that a couple of the ost junk caps came out but without their legs. the legs were stuck in the through-hole of the board. i managed to pull some of them out with pliers on one hand and soldering iron on the other hand but now only one is left.
this one is too short to grip with pliers. i tried pushing a sewing needle through one side and soldering iron on the other but the leg is just stuck fast inside the through-hole and wont bulge. if i use too much force, the sewing needle just bends sideways because its too thin. its a 0.6mm wide through-hole for mounting 8mm diameter caps. wasted an entire day with it! any ideas?
