When removing components, fresh solder will be extremely helpful. I had similiar problems when I started recapping. Apply fresh solder to the joints first, then heat them up and the components will come off easily.

To free holes in the PCB I recommend using a bit of fresh solder and a wooden toothpick: Apply solder, heat it with a thin tip and then jam the toothpick in while the solder is still fluid.

Needs a bit of practice.
