You must lift pin. I use a cutter and an iron solder for this kind of job.

Good Luck !

what do you mean you use a cutter?? you cut the pin?

I use the cutter to lift the pin while I heat it up with the tin soldering iron.

or needle and hot air gun, carefuly bend it upwards, use needle as a pry bar between other pins

or use one of those craft cut knife / scalpel.

thanks guys.. i am going to use the cutter.

a needle works very well, just gently use it as a lever on top of the next pin whilst heating the pin with your soldering iron....

I agree with yellowstilo .
smallest needle you can find , remove solder with braid first , then gently lever up from pin next to it while applying heat from soldering iron tip .
patience & a steady hand and it will work .
DO NOT RUSH THESE JOBS
it will cost you with a f**ked up dash

large sewing needles is best, grind the bottom end and bend slightly. Bend too much and it breaks
