    Take a wood chisel (or wide bladed screwdriver) and start down one side tapping gently on the legs and usually they will work up out of the hole. Then go to the other side and do the same. Occasionally you will shear off some of the stubborn legs but usually they will pull loose out of the solder.
    You are pulling them from the low grade boards only,,, Right?



    * Compliments of Eesakiwi; "The 'flatpacks' I just use a boxcutter knife & cut thru all the legs on two sides of all of the chips, then I turn the board 90 deg & cut thru the other two sides of legs & the chip falls off."
