The thing that worries me is to give hot to more parts than necessary. I've got a good-cheap (40€) hot air gun, with digital temp control, but the gun end I've got is very big, and I don't know even the word in english to search for a narrow one, and if I can buy it separately.
If any can tell me...
EDIT: Forget it, it's nozzles, isn't it? I'm going to buy one.

Eamoe I don't know how I'll do, but I think I'll have to desolder first the solder (more or less), for what I've bought a cheap 50watts iron solder (4 or 5 € with sending cost included) just for it, as the good jbc one I've got has only 20 watts. Later I think I have to desolder the chip kit to get joined with the existing one, and later to suck all together.

So... what will be better, the hot air gun with a 2mm nozzle or to try with a 50watts solder and the chip quik solution?
