Desoldering Atmega128 using a lighter

I heard about this method an decided to try with may board. I needed to replace Atmega128 chip, but didn’t have hot air solder for desoldering IC. I tried this weird desoldering technique and I can say, that I satisfied. Tracks and other parts were saved.

Watch a video:

Now my Atmega128 board is working again.
