Blowtorch. I'm not kidding. It'll fall right out and less chance of damage to the transformer. I've used a torch on $700 board mount high voltage supplies, and it worked like a charm.I have a big, hocking flyback transformer to desolder from a TV circuit board. I don't have the patience for any of the aboved mentioned methods, so I'm going to try a heat gun to melt all the soldiered connections at once. Wish me luck!

I used a MAPP gas torch, but propane or oxy-acetylene would have been fine. The board is toast, but it you are just salvaging the flyback it is probably the best way to go. The whole removal operation will take about 3 seconds for the flyback to fall out. It happens lickety-split.
