Removing a cart slot without a heat gun

Post by Ryutso »

So I'm setting about to remove a cart slot on a SNES and NES but noticed that I'm pulling a lot of pins out. AFAIK, all the solder is gone around the pins and I've tried just prying them off with a small flat head screwdriver, but no dice.

I don't have a heat gun per se, but I have a hair dryer. Any other methods to remove it, other than yank and then replace pins (which is bad as far as I can tell)?
