Do I really need Desoldering for replacing resistors/caps?


To replace such as resistors or caps.  Do I really need to get desoldering gun?   I was thinking to replace some of resistors and caps on ARC LS7.  The cheapest I seen was Hakko desoldering FR300-05 for $265, not sure if it worth it to buy it and will only use it once for this LS7.
Thank you,

Here’s the solder sucker and iron in a single unit.

I have one of these and it is much easier to use than a separate sucker and iron or the iron with the attached pump.
