Thank you, Don. I just finished the replacement. I absolutely dread desoldering, but it gave me an opportunity to use the $25 desoldering iron with an in-line solder-sucker I had in reserve. I removed the solder from the pins, flush-cut the pins on the solder-side, and solder-sucked a coupke more times. I then gently rocked the part side to side on the component side of the board until it broke free.
