soldering - Desoldering an SON package


I have recently discovered that my AVR Dragon has a busted voltage regulator (see this). I am trying to remove the voltage regulator IC so I can perform the mod specified on that page, however it is a SON package with what looks like all of the pins under the chip.

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
