tricks to desolder?
 

i cant seem to get a couple holes desolder on my ecu... any tips or tricks?

Re: tricks to desolder?
 

Braid right?


Add more solder to get better heat transfer to the solder in the hole and use flux.

get an actual desoldering station :y makes life WAY easier.

or just learn how to position your braid correctly.

I also add solder to the two bastard holes, and then hit it w/ the braid again. Works well.

After awhile you will get better at using the braid, and the best way to position it.
I used to cut the chips out of OBD0's w/ a dremel. O0 Now I can get em' out clean w/ just the braid, and no ripped traces.

With the braid I like to insert the pin into the weave then lay my soldering tip on the braid. I also jump around on the chip so I don't over heat one section of the board. Just have some patience, play with it, and you'll get it...

I still use a dremel on pre chip ecu's have gotten a couple obd1 lately with them. Anywho also I like to do maybe 5-6 holes then let the iron rest for a little to get all that heat back works like a charm.


Just take your time ecu chipping is a bitch why everyone who starts doing it stops so bare with it

Not everyone. I make good money doing it, and that's just local. These have been paid for many, many, many times over. Gotta use pro products.

Having previous experience helps too. ;)

I got a realy good soldering station(for electronics) and a manuel deolder sucker and also one te hooks up to air line and will suck the solder right out
