I need to desolder 6 potentiometers. now these have 5 contacts, the 3 usual pins wich are small, but also 2 larger pins , i think these only serve to mountain the potentiometers on the PCB board?
I have this small desolder pump and it works fine on the smaller pins but it's difficult to get all the solder of the 2 larger pins. I can desolder the largest part but there's still solder under the bowed pins and it's difficult to get this fluent.
Does anybody have some tips, maybee changing the head of the soldering iron, special tools etc...?
