Grumpy_Mike:
This is a surface mount device, unless you have a hot air rework station, and the skill to use it, there is no chance of getting the chip off or putting another back on.
I got a hot air rework station a little while back, cheaply, but have been a bit frightened to tackle SMD stuff yet. I have visions of:
- Starting a fire
- Burning myself
- Destroying the circuit board
- Cooking the components
- Blowing the parts away so they float along on a sea of solder
- Not being able to keep them in place
- Everything not quite lined up properly
- Solder bridges
Apart from that, no worries! I should give it a go soon. 
I've done quite a few in work recently and was surprised how easy they are, compared to how hard I expected them to be.
Perhaps I should take inspiration from you BulletMagnet83.
