A few comments and one question from the posts above.
Icemark - the solder sucker at radio shack with the red bulb and white tip - I have that one - does it suck or is it me? Can you recommend one? BTW, the solder wick is ****, good to see I'm not the only one.
And regarding the blurry pictures, use the macro function so it focuses properly, if need be place the object and camera somewhere supported and use the self timer so you get no shaking.

well.. just have the solder gun or solder tip on the solder, melt the solder and angle it down a to about 30-45 degree angle from the pin. depress the bulb and try your best to place its tip right over the pin so it can suck out the solder that's in the pin hole too. works only so much, had to reapply solder on the pins just to melt what is left and tried sucking it again to get rid of more... just do your best not to force out the old relay.

Normally all you have to do is replace the relay. However, if you accidentally removed the traces while getting the old relay off, you will have to jumper broken connections.

Note that I am assuming that the board is already error-free aside from the relay. I've only redone 2 boards, and both times only had to replace the relay with great results. However, if your board is mucked up like 88rxn/a's board, you are in for fun times.

I would agree with the solder wick/desoldering braid works very well. It is helpful to have some resin/flux on the braid to suck up the solder. I have found that using the braid decreases damage by soaking up heat & solder & not the circuit board traces.
I had Icemark repair mine after I murdered the circuit board many years ago. I would recommend the "have someone qualified do it" approach rather than on the job training for circuit board repair - Although it is "possible" to do it yourself, the result is that you got what you paid for - nothing!!

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
But you shouldn't need to jumper anything if you removed the relay correctly.
