Re: best way to remove solder from motor cans?

You also can get most of it off with a solder sucker.

Re: best way to remove solder from motor cans?

Pick yourself up a solder wick, works wonders.

Also make sure your iron is up to the task, a 25w pencil tip iron won't cut it. Use an 80w flat tip, basically the same as what you'd use to solder batteries and 12g connectors would be fine.

Re: best way to remove solder from motor cans?

If you want to save the label, I would honestly just shave it off with a fresh xacto blade, kind of like whittling a stick. Then follow up with a Dremel with a wire wheel or buffer/sanding drum. If you use the drum do it very carefully so you don't dig into the can.
