You may have to search the other forums for the exact article, but here is basically how it is done:

You place a case screw on a desk. On the cpu's backplate there are four holes that retain a clip. You push the CPU onto the screw on the table, until it releases the clip in each of the holes. I have done it a few times and found that the best leverage is achieved by first removing the fan, and then pushing down the CPU using the heatsink as a handle.

Disclaimer: this is a tricky procedure and it can potentially go wrong and destroy your chip, so search a little more and do this only if you really understand what you are doing.

Good luck
