You can remove the heatsink with some Air duster. Just hold upside down and spray on heatsink for 2-4 sec. Then the bond will become brittle. Put the card in a vise, with the vise attached to the heatsink. Rock the card a bit and the heatsink will come off.
I read this somewhere. Don't know if it works or not. But that Air duster will freeze small things in a sec. I am going to try it as soon as a get my last warez for my water cooling rig.
Hope it helps.
