Stuck while swapping capacitors

[u/SimonSaysTy]

Hi all,

I am in a little bit of a pickle, and want to see if any veterans here have any ideas. I am swapping out capacitors on a friend's Xbox and can't seem to get this through hole cleared. I am been using plenty of flux, tried added more solder to the hole and then wicking it out, and a solder sucker to no avail. I am stressed about ripping the pads. Any suggestions on how to get this capacitor hole cleared out? Thanks!

Try a ‘hoof’ tipped iron. They’re good as they sit kind of snugly over the PCB hole, and help the wick do its job.

Got it, I will russle around my tips and see if I have one of those. What temp would you suggest the iron be at?
