Take a look at this http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...4&postcount=31

What replacement FETs did you decide on?

Sandy,
It depends on the damage. If just one FET or two are bad, the cost to replace probably justifies the repair. Common thinking is that anything beyond a simple FET failure has likely stressed other components to the point of being unreliable in the future.
I have had success with larger Weller tips using Mike Betts' method. However, I heat only the pin and remove it when the solder melts. Then I clean the hole using solder sucker rather than the wick. If one of the holes is still clogged, then I simply heat the new transistor pin as I insert it.
