finish it off.

I find that a dental pick helps clear the holes for re-installing the
diodes, and a hemostat helps hold the parts for insertion.  It isn't easy to
solder the parts back in without the rather involved process of removing the
boards entirely but it can be done if care (and minimal solder) is used.  A
dental mirror and flashlight make inspecting the board for solder bridges
easy.

Lastly, your mileage may vary.  I freely admit I am a
"technician-in-training" - if I have made any errors in this post, please
tell me before I send others the wrong direction. That said, there is
nothing quite like fixing your own.  My wife is addicted to crossword
puzzles - I detest the things, but I think solving a rig's problems step by
step yield a similar sort of satisfaction.
