i just use a tiny bit of super glue. usually a very light tap pops them free. other times i have to use my circiut freeze spay to freeze them to pop free.
keep in mind super glue sticks to the parts afterwards, makes getting good contact with heatsinks. so if you pull it off and need to reattach you may need to sand down some superglue residue.
1 more thing. super glue is not the ideal thing to use here. i've used it before in a pinch and it worked ok. but it can bite back if your not carefull. the best thing would be to just use thermal tape or epoxy.
