I've removed quite a few glued heatsinks. Firstly I put it in the
freezer for an hour or so then I work carefully around the edges of the seal
with a thin blade or scalpel (oops another finger gone) until it pops off.
If it refuses to budge I put it back in the freezer for another hour and try
again - and so on....always works for me...
