You need to have the proper tools for working on SMT PCB work.  I use a hot air tool to remove small parts like that, I don't overheat the board and I get all the pins at once.  I've found I need about 550F (290C) on the hot air.  For larger parts, I clip the leads and remove the body, then sweep the leads off with the soldering iron set to 500F (260C).  Excessive heat is the kiss of death for PCB work, but too little will cause you to leave it on for too long and damage the board anyway.
