A cheapo solder pump does it just fine. Dab on a blob of new solder, suck it all up. The slider job is not too bad. It just looks horrible as the entire SH-101 must be dismantled. Take lots of photos, too many, of everything. The slider caps will be a little looser with the new slider set. Solution? Put a very very small dab of 5 minute epoxy on the very top of the slider, then fit the cap. This way, removing the cap later is done with a firm tug and no harm. If you use too much epoxy it will be a crappy time for future you.
