What is the recomended way of removing the stock heatsink from a video card (ATI RAdeon 7500)?

Are there any stickies or pages I can go find out?

If it uses mounting pins, squeeze them togehter from the back of the card and pop them through. If it is glued on, seal the card in an antistatic bag and throw it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and the heatsink will pop right off with a little twist.

Or you can insert a flathead screwdriver under the heatsink and twist it. The sink will come right off.
