Electronic – How to solder under already soldered parts

soldering

I soldered several pin rows on my pcb, and thought that both sides of the pcb are already connected. Therefore I only soldered the pin rows on the bottom of the pcb. Unfortunately they weren't connected, so that I have to solder the pin rows on the upper side of the pcb, too. But with my soldering tip I am not able to get below the pin rows. Is there a way to connect them without having to unsolder them?

  1. Lever the plastic part up until it is at the top of the pins.

  2. Hold each pin with angled needle-nose pliers (to prevent heat from melting the plastic) while soldering it to the top-side pad.

  3. push the plastic back down.
