Right gear or do you mean Bodge gear

The problem with ball grid array is that you need to be bloody accurate with no main reference points. That means normally a computerized tool to accurately position the device which means full set-up params for each board (something manufacturers don't tend to give out) and even as certified warranty agents for Toshiba, IBM, HP, ACER and a few others we never did it..

It can be done with IR or hot-air but it's very hit and miss, at least with TQFP you have reference points (the legs and tracks themselves)
