The tool is NOT a simple piece of U shaped metal. The proper tool pulls the Agnus up, and distributes the force across the socket. Using the tools you described or the nut and bolt method puts stress on the PCB to Agnus socket, as well as the PCB itself. There is a small, but possible, chance that Agnus will come outOK yet mess up the motherboard by its flexing. Without the proper tools, remove your A2000 motherboard, the bottom shielding, and push the Agnus out through one of the holes in the PCB underneath the Agnus. This eliminates one of the two areas of stress I've discussed. -Greg
