Of course, the board doesn't end up in such good shape...

In this case, there's plastic in the way on
the component side.
In this case, you can also apply extra heat with a pencil tip iron
to the side of the desolder tip on the same side of the pcb.
Adding heat did the trick though. I went out into
the garage and
grabbed my propane torch (1 quart bottle size).
nothing like the brute force method :)
