Well,  what helps me with that is very low melting solder. I keep some
around just for that and I haven't had any problem yet, I hate and won't do
really tiny things but I did put the narrow SSB filter in a kenwood TS-440
once, that was more stressful then anythign for me just because I was afraid
of doing damage but it survived. I don't think I would work on another radio
that small or smaller though just because the chance is there for a problem
but I have looked for a project radio to work with if I can find a cheap
enough one.
