A recommendation for removing the bridge. It's very hard to cleanly remove that without first breaking it up, it takes too much heat and will wreck the PCB. I cut the bridge up with the dremel and trim the leads flush to the PCB on both sides. Then it doesn't take as much heat to remove the remaining leads.
The required bridge is a D-72 footprint 8 amp bridge. Here's two at Digikey: 8A D-72 Bridge.
