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.

De-solder braid is just fine. Clean like Dave said. 

Most important with boards like this is to use the right temp and right size solder tip and even then be especially careful not to overheat. Because your biggest risk on a PC board is overheat and lift or burn the trace. Especially with a lot of them close together like this.
