Exclamation HELP! Blue Odometer Install!

I can't figure out how to do this mini soldering on the odometer circuit board to remove the old LEDs. I'm using Infinite Realities tutorial. I have solder sucking tool. Do I need something else?

You dant need to remove the solder, you can use the solder thats already there to attach the LED's.

Get a pair of tweasers or something that you can move the LED's off while the solder is hot, thats the easiest way to do it. Or if you do want to remove the solder just remove as much as you can and the LEDs should come off with a tiny bit of elbow grease.

Thanks. I'm just worried about using too much elbow grease on this kind of equipment
