If the heat sink (radiator) is set up like pentiums are then there should be a mtal band over it strapping it down,  the band will clip onto the motherboard, I usually seem to have to use a screwdriver to unclip it.  Then the heat sinnk should still stick on as it will have been pasted too, to whatever chip is under there (04 or ROM, what why would a ROM chip have a heat sink...)

And with Socket 7 and under devices, there is a little lever you have to pull up.

Proper Tools:
Old computers had more chips socketed, since they often broke. Its a big pair of tweezers with the ends bent in to go under the chip basically. Wonderfully helpful though in the right situation. I can imagine some of the older Amigas leaning towards the socketed chips side for the old computers reason.
