Re: replacing components on old amps
With pliers (after draining filters), I like to heat the solder, and remove ALL the components from an eyelet.  
 
 
 
At this point, I "clean" the eyelet by "sucking the solder"  
 
(with a cheap Radio Shack solder sucker).  
 
 
 
Once the eyelet is totally clean of solder, I replace the  
 
components and apply FRESH solder.
