What might be a good strategy to remove the stock XP-G LED on the DQG Ti AAA driver? I want to install a 219b. Please see this album:

I’m debating options:

1. hot air from the LED side, but not sure how to keep the components on the bottom of the board from falling off.. I do have some Kapton like tape, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W3FAFP0/ but it has almost no adhesive and does not stay in place.

Im wondering if “real” Kapton tape would stick better? Ive never tried it.

2. Im debating using a soldering iron to heat the positive contact disc on the bottom of the driver, below the LED.. same concerns about components falling off. I expect the positive contact disc would be the first thing to get desoldered.

brainstorming and suggestions welcome..
