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.
