You didn't need the rework station, and you shouldn't need solder paste. Some irons, tweezers, good tin lead solder, and a desoldering braid are good enough for replacing surface mount capacitors. BUT...It's up to you how you spend your money, wise or not. 😉 EDIT: Woops, I forgot you damaged some traces on your board. Maybe a more financially viable option would have been to just find a replacement unit/board? Relax, I didn't actually buy an SMD rework station only to work on this Classic, I got other projects (involving SMD) going on too, and felt it was time for me to update my tools. I got two Classic IIs, and both have leaky capacitors, so what does that tell me about the stock parts :-/
