I practiced many times on junk boards before I dove in.

To prevent the solder from separating, you can dab some flux on the pins. That should help keep the solder on the pins and pads.


Good luck.
Hmm, how did you know the eeprom was the issue?
Maybe I can just try to apply the heat only to the eeprom with a soldering gun.
