My fan has died and I ordered a new heatsink to replace my old one( the . But I realized I have no clue how to go about removing my heat sink safely. here is a picture (from leadtek) of the type of heat sink I have on my ti 4400 (though not my exact card).

anyone have any advice or links to some where that would give me an idea of how to go about removing this huge thing? I have found some sites that take about removing the heatsink but nothing specific to this card/type of heatsink.

Any help would be great. I can't reallly afford to replace this card.
