I've removed a few ISA and PCI slots using a
hot-air gun.
My success rate for ISA was quite good but PCI was less good:
I've found using the wide flat nozzle helps, it's easier to
heat the length of the connector evenly.
I was doing this "just because I could" (I
was scrounging
other bits at the time) so I don't know whether the
salvaged ISA or PCI slots would have worked again.
Likewise, I do know the ISA slots will work again though as
I use them for things like this ..
