Managed to Swap Out 1/8 watt SMD Resistor on 2nd Try. Whew!

Took 2 tries because I thought the flux would hold the first one in place while I applied the solder. I ended up with a blob of solder stuck to the iron tip with a resistor floating in it LOL!
Successful on 2nd attempt by holding the resistor in place.
Cripes you don't realize how small those resistors are until you take one out of the package. I guess they look bigger on a PCB because of the solder on each end.
