Read the instructions all the way through before making attempts to follow them. I was working on a soldering project with a vacuum tube-mount and the instructions said "Solder the coil and vacuum tube-mount... ...the vacuum tube-mount can only go in one way so be sure to install it on the reverse side of the pcb"
I tore off 5 out of the 14 traces trying to desolder that one component.
By fidelity for an hour to try and get it right you can save 5min of reading the instructions
haha this gets me a lot
