The easiest way to solder multi pin connector?

 

Hello,
I am going to move 2 connectors from A row to B row as shown in the picture. 1 connector has 3 pins, the other has 4 pins.


The B row already has some lead there (no pin or connectors attached).

Could anyone help with my questions:
- what is a good and clean way to desolder pins (7 pins in total) in A row. I know that desoldering braid and flux can help. Is there a better way?
- after this desoldering, how should I solder 2 connectors (1 connector has 3 pins, the other has 4 pins) to row B using the existing lead on the PCB?

Thank you.

If you want to do this right, then get the desoldering gun in the link below. Trying to use a manual solder sucker or braid can be difficult and leads to mishaps.  This desoldering gun makes easy work of it. If you plan to desolder more in the future, then it is a must have purchase. First use your soldering iron to reflow the solder pads you plan to use the gun on.
