IC puller for socketed chips

[iantm]

I don’t want to botch this so I hope someone can recommend a proper tool to pull this FPU from the Asante Ethernet card. I have one with and one without. My understanding is leaving it in will be problematic for an se/30 (it would be fine in a iisi)

That did it, thank you!

Did it require something special, or just a standard PLCC puller?

I was able to carefully pry it out with the 4mm oval drive from the iFixit Mako Kit . Started on one side, and alternated and it popped right out.
