I've had good luck using a desoldering - powered suction type iron.
It will completely suck off all the solder on each leg individually. I use
my iron set on about 7 on the scale , so I'm assuming it's running at 30+
Watts, I only center the leg tip on the nozzle, attempting to not directly
contact it, and the solder - especially fresh solder, comes off very
quickly.
