John,
What I use is a combination of liquid flux (not acidic), desoldering tape, a needle (preferably stainless steel so it does not stick to the solder) and a solder sucker.
It may need several tries to clear the hole but patience should get you there.
Good luck.

I'm building a QMX and I'm not very experienced with this sort of thing.
After I soldered in the L401 inductor, it did not pass the continuity tests - so I decided to remove and re-wrap the toroid. Unfortunately I got a small piece of wire stuck in one of the holes on the board and I haven't been able to get it cleared. The last thing I tried was a sewing needle after heating the hole with a soldering iron. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks much & 73
