Step 4: Remove the old jack.
Secure the board in a vise. Use the ultra-fine desoldering braid, along with the ultra-fine soldering iron tip, to remove as much solder as possible from the signal pin. Then heat the ground pins and pry on the jack. Eventually move back to the signal pin.
With constant leverage on the jack, every time you melt one pad, it should move just a little. Just hop around from pad to pad, and eventually it should pop free.
The text in this step is mostly extraneous, all the goodies are in the photos.
