My Level: total idiot

Situation:

- trying to replace these four mosfet transistors and a hefty heat sink

- the heat sink is held in place by a dual sided tape and two ground pins and the transistors are screwed into the heat sink but I can’t access the screws.

What I did:

- I was able to easily remove some of the solder from the surface for the transistors and the heat sink.

Issue:

- I’ve tried a few ways but not all the pins are free of solder. There’s solder in the hole that is sticking to the pins.

- the heat sink makes it really hard to remove the rest of the solder from the two pins.
