somewhere (old TV/computer from the tip) and practise.
You want to non-destructively remove this component and you've already
lifted a track.
I'd stop now and practise on something that doesn't matter. Removing
something like
a 4 pin molex power connector from a dead (recent:-)) hard drive or
similar is
probably the sort of difficulty you want?

I'd second that.. And use a good de-soldering tool. I use a Hakko 808
desoldering gun. My hot air rework station has an option for a desoldering
attachment but the gun is serving me well. Just change the flux filter
regularly and clean it out well.
