I have also my tool to remove that kind of CPUs:

Never seen those.. Are they available to buy somewhere?

They were in the early 90s as they were sold for 486 CPUs amongst others. (PGA extraction tool)

I bought mine on Ebay a few years ago, but I think you might find some on Amibay.

There's was a seller on amibay, but looks like he was banned

We have a PGA extraction tool. A new '030, a ps/2 mouse adapter and an Aries 169 pin ZIF socket. And a free gift from the exxos store

I'm hoping I can dismantle the 169 pin ZIF socket and create the correct pin layout, then I will never break another 68030. I'll attempt that later today.

The socket which was given to me didn't need any modifications.. I use one to test 030 CPUs in a DFB1X

Lift the upper layer up, carefully to not snap the tangs. It popped up a little and I was able to recover the tangs one at a time.

I tipped it over and all the pins fell out. Then I reinserted them hopefully in the correct pattern, remembering its a mirror image if you're looking at a real CPU

Put the lever and the spring back in.

Put the lid back on and carefully put the tangs in. And we have an '030 specific ZIF socket. Now back to work!!!
