OK, for many many years I used the mechanical sucker type and / or
braid but the mechanical pump is much more gentle on the PCB and
something that I wish I'd got sooner (although I got mine s/h / not
working and fixed it). ;-)

Generally with a component you know is scrap, it can make sense to snip it
off using decent sharp cutters. Then remove the leg remains one by one.
For through hole, obviously.
