I don't envy anyone removing the SMD ICs on this board. I have not had much success recapping boards using hot air to remove them. I usually end up with torn pads, even with the correct nozzle. I know for this type of chip you can get a square nozzle that will fit directly over the chip so as to heat all sides at once.
You can also try ChipQuick. This seems to be a decent alternative:

Not sure if there is room, but perhaps, if you find spares, you could also cut each leg and desolder the feet?
