What I have done on other boards is clear the hole with a piece of the
Enamelled Copper Wire with the end cut across at 45degrees, it seems good enough
to clear the excess solder and if you are too heavy handed (like I often am) the
wire will just bend before it does any damage (unlike a drill bit).
Yeah I got sway with it on one, but not the other. Just a
bit too much plating in the whole to allow it to fit.
Using 0.5mm wire
is nicer though. It does allow quite a bit more tensile strength to hold the
toroids in place.

If it is any help, I have managed to used 0.5mm Enamelled Copper Wire on an LPF,
it was a tight fit but not too tight once the Enamelling was cleared
off. > > > 73, Colin M0XSD. > >
