I have the same problem... no matter how careful I am I usually lift a trace when I'm desoldering something old. I think I need to get a proper pump.

Yeah, the Hakko has been great for preventing lifts, but they still happen. If I weren’t trying to save the chip, I could have just cut it out, put in the socket and a new CPU which would have made life easier. I’ll probably do that next time, if possible.
Still, it just took time and a little patience, and it worked out in the end.

Got these bad boys today....
The small one will go in my arcade party repair box, the bigger one will be on my test bench. Much chuff!
