A PLCC extractor tool is very cheap
See
this one from Jameco.
Normally I don't bother with the tool if its not in front of me. I just use a small screw driver and slowly leaver each side. But I have heard that the sockets used in the Amigas tend to be brittle and thus can break if you use this method.
Replacing a broken socket is actually an easy and quick job for anyone with a little experience. Finding someone with this experience who won't charge you a lot of money is another issue.
