A detachment apparatus for detaching at least one component (120) from a circuit board (125) can include a shaft (105) configured to rotate about a central axis, at least one lever (110) having a first end and a second end, the lever being attached to the shaft at the first end, and a hook (115) attached to the second end of the lever. Rotation of the shaft causes the hook to come into contact with the component on the circuit board, and the hook is configured to separate the component from the circuit board.
