To separate the chips: try a very thin bladed screwdriver, place the blade
between the heat sink and cpu, place the other edge of the chip against a
block of wood, take a 16oz ball peen hammer, strike the handle of the
screwdriver repeatedly until they separate. This method worked well (with
larger scale tools) when I was removing the heads of my old '76 Cherokee.
Off course I cracked one in the process, but hey 50/50 ain't bad.  -Jim

I've always gotten my chips and stored them with a thin piece of white
packing foam on the pin side, covering all the pins and a rubber band
around them. No need to actually try to peirce the foam w/ the pins, just
press enough to get them set.

No idea.. get a chip extractor to pull it away?
