I've always just gone ahead and "pryed" the CPU off the heatsink. The
first time I tried it, I was afraid of breaking the chip, but no such
luck :).

Ok, anyone know of a safe way of removing a glued on heatsink? I have a
few of these 486 CPUs where the heatsink is glued down. I could just jam
a screwdriver in and snap it off, but that just doesn't seem very good
for the chip.
