- Fine meshed copper cord like high-flexible wires or speaker cables.

I made mine from a 4-square/mm speaker cable by uninsulate it and disentangle
it up in the single wires. I mean supply cables for your speakers set, not the
cables inside the speakers.
(sure desoldering strand will work too, but you can save the money for other
nice things)

- soldering flux. Those which looks and feels like grease.

- of course a vise

Make sure to fix your sacrifice PCB in the vise facing the solder side to you.
Pick the wire and clamp it at a point near to the legs you want to start
Now wrap it S-shaped tight between the legs until the end of the desired part.
Fix it there again to prevent it from falling off.
Now smear a bit of the soldering-flux along the wire.

Heat the soldering points by panning the gun a bit until the solder melts. Now
watch the solder soaking into the wire. If there is no more solder to soak it's time
to pull out the part before the PCB starts to burn.
Done! Get lucky with new parts an a new soldered copper snake as pet.

Sure, it needs a bit testing and experience to get good results and less burned
PCB's.

If you have a 2 Step Hot air gun like me, you may vary the heat by setting the
distance between the gun and the pcb.
Always take care for good ventilation to prevent you from breathing hazardous
fumes. Due the fact that the most of you are no more little children, i don't
explain you that you will burn your fingers by touching the hot stuff ;)

Step 3: En Detail..

Desoldering multi layered PCB's is a strange task because the parts legs are
