What soldering iron works best to do a mod?
Any particular model or tip size and type of sodler I should use? Also where is a good place to get the right size wire for the chip.

Is there a place on the net I can order one of those from? I did a google search and came up with next to nothing. My town of 60,000 probably won't have one unless you picked it up from a store over there that we have here. Also what grade of solder do you use?

I used to use the 0.12mm tip m8 but got fed up with replacing tips all the time! Now use an 18w with 0.5mm tip. The .5mm lasts months rather than days.

Providing you put the tip to the sponge fairly often and keep it nicely tinned, I think the 0.12s last a fairly long time... (well, that's what I find anyway)...

I use a .031" tip, what that equals in mm I have no idea.
