Don't hesitate to tell me what i do wrong and if you have any tips and tricks, because i want to learn and improve.
I have a 60w iron that can go up to 450c, cone tip, i usually set it at 400. I applied flux on solder, tinning the tip then applying new lead solder to the joint so that it can mix with the lead free and lower the melting point, then i tried to suck up the melted solder with the solder sucker. But that didn't work since the lead solder doesn't seems to mix with the lead free one. I also tried applying flux to a wick and the board, then tinning the tip of the iron and trying to remove the solder, it also doesn't work because the lead free solder doesn't get sucked into the wick, only the lead one does.
Here's what the solders looks like after trying the methods above.
