The easiest way to solder multi pin connector?

 

Hello,
I am going to move 2 connectors from A row to B row as shown in the picture. 1 connector has 3 pins, the other has 4 pins.


The B row already has some lead there (no pin or connectors attached).

Could anyone help with my questions:
- what is a good and clean way to desolder pins (7 pins in total) in A row. I know that desoldering braid and flux can help. Is there a better way?
- after this desoldering, how should I solder 2 connectors (1 connector has 3 pins, the other has 4 pins) to row B using the existing lead on the PCB?

Thank you.

Thank you everyone, I am able to desolder with the help of my father. He was repairing cathode tube TV as a part time job when he was young. 

What we used to desolder was Weller gun and solder sucker as some members here suggested. 

This is a 1 time project so I didn't opt to buy the desoldering machine, which is obviously the best solution. 

Thank you everyone for your input!
