Most sockets have little plastic tabs which are meant for a metal clip which holds the heat sink on. Take a broad flat headed screwdriver and use the plastic tabs to pry against and edge each corner up a little at a time. The whole CPU will eventually start coming up after half a dozen rotations or so.I'm finally getting around to swapping the 68LC040 in my Q605 for a full 68040. I have a 68040 donor machine ready to go, put I have no experience pulling chips. Any advice on where I can get the right kind of puller, or on how to do without one? Keep in mind I've never done this before, and I'd be very unhappy if I damaged anything
Are you going to up the speed to 33 MHz?

You can go up to 40 MHz if you can find a 20 MHz oscillator.
