Hello,
There is a de-soldering tool one may buy at any Radio Shack,(if there are RS stores near you), that makes removing solder a 'snap'.
It is a soldering iron type affair with a rubber bulb and metal tube attached to a hollow tip. The iron's tip heats the solder until molten, and the rubber bulb is used to suck the solder away from the work. This device could be used on almost any solder joint, but, is especially good on printed circuit boards.
Good Luck!

I had good luck with desoldering braid, also from Radio Shack. Inexpensive and easy to get into small spaces, only requires two hands. Put the end on the offending solder, apply the soldering iron until the braid heats up and sucks up the solder, and pull it away.
