I know this topic is pretty old, but I just found it, and I thought that I wouldl throw in my own 2 cents.
I have been harvesting components from all sorts of stuff for many years, and there is one trick that usually seems to work on a stubborn joint.
The addition of a little new flux seems to help the old solder flow easier, and if you don't have a flux pen or liquid flux around, believe it or not, add a bit more solder! The new flux in the solder that you add should help the old solder flow a bit better so that you can remove it more easily.
