How to Fix Broken IC Pin

[bostonman]

BTW, if you are concerned that you might forget and try to pull it out at a later date, just past a note with a warning sign on the surface. Anything that will draw your attention.

I already plan to take that route.

Most likely the dual sockets will trigger a warning sign, but, in any case, this could be less of an issue if the socket pins weren't so cheap. They bend so easy and I sense removing a few times will result in damage.
