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.
