v1 problems

[Headly]

I am installing a messiah chip in my brothers v1. Its seems that there is a secondary board for the power source between the first one and the motherboard. This seconardy board has the usual for pins connecting it to the motherboard. These pins seem extemely difficult to remove. If anybody has a good way of doing this please let me know. I have asked around and nobody seems to have much experience at v1's. I fthere is an alternate point for SCex and clk points on the front that would be great but seems unlikely seeing how they're not listed in the installation manual.
