Every once in awhile, I'll get a pin that doesn't free--I'll use a
#70 wire drill in a Foredom handset to clear out the via. Use low
That can cut your via. Safer to use a sewing machine needle or pin. Heat
the solder until it is molten, clean with needle/pin as the solder tends
not to stick to the steel. In a pinch, the end of a capacitor/resistor
lead will do if you are careful. You can 'capture' the solder in the via
on the lead and simply snip off that piece to get it back through the hole.
The solder pump works well normally. RoHS solder is going to be harder,
unless you have to stay RoHS, I suggest diluting it down with tin/lead
solder will help make it easier to clean. YMWV
