I have a Behringer EQ that has a bad front panel switch. It looks
to be
a standard 3 pin SPDT type, surrounded by a metal bracket that
holds it
fast to the PCB.

I've been having a lot of difficulty removing it from this PCB with
plated-through holes for replacement; it's resisted all my attempts to
pry it out using an iron/solder sucker or solder wick. I don't own
a hot
air station unfortunately - any tips here?

With the hot air rework stations from China at only $ 45 you may
want to
look into getting one. While they probably will not hold up under
heavy
usage, I have one and it works fine for hobby use. YOu get the hot air
gun and a soldering iron that heats up very fast.

Here is one from ebay..
122275067539


Item number is not valid...

Works for me.

Try searching for

862D+ 2in1 SMD Solder Soldering Iron Hot Air Rework Station

There are many of them for just under $ 50.


Clear your cache. I get a No Listing for 122275067539.

I found it by doing a Bing search on the number directly from your post.
(T-bird lets you do that)
