I use a 35w iron and you hit each side and push lightly at the same time. Once the solder on the board is melting you move steady back and forth then it just melts(not breaks) loose then you just push it off the board. You don't want it to cool and stick to other parts.

Time may vary depending on how hot your iron is. I think people are pulling the pads when you pry on the board. If you notice I just push it off with out putting upwards pressure on the pads.

I hope it can be a very useful video to everyone wanting a little cheap speed.
