You don't need a whole station just pick up a ~20$ iron or gun from your local hardware store....It will probably even have as much solder as you need.

You do not need anything more than needle nose pliers to de-solder the old part from chassis style terminals, Just heat with one hand, and grab the end of the lead with the pliers in the other, and wiggle/unwrap/unloop, and once the lead is out heat and blow the solder out of the terminal....PCBs are even easier. I Have a couple of solder suckers, and honestly just don't bother using them except on multi-pin PCB parts.
