I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this post. The tips and suggestions gave me the confidence to proceed with the replacement of the FETs on my slave board.
I set the temp of the FX 888D to 700 degrees, cut the 2 legs on each FET, heated the heatsink and used tweezers to remove when loose, then heated the remaining pieces of the legs and removed them.
I then used no clean gel soldering flux to stick the new FET's in posiition while I held it down with tweezers and soldered the legs. I finished up by using 37/63 solder on the heatsink allowing it to flow around and wick in.
When placed on the track & connected to the A & B units it performed perfectly.
Thanks again,
I really appreciate the help,
Ron
