I usually use Chipquik for the stubborn ones. Slowly lifting one lead (use a temp controlled iron though) then the other alternately seems to work as well.

I use a vacuum desoldering iron. If it doesn't remove all of the solder, I refill the PTH with 60/40 solder. The solder used for wave solder is 80/20, which has a higher melting temperature. The two solders mix, lowering the required heat to melt all of the solder in the PTH.
Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to
prove it.
