How to remove RAM heatsinks

[AznLemming]

I have a couple Mushkin sticks of RAM, and I wanna just swap the heatsinks. How should I go about it? And would that void the warranty?? =^D TY

It is difficult to remove the heatspreader without damaging the chips. Only a flat heat screwdriver (or anything else strong enough) will suffice for popping them off. Please note that tampering with them will directly void warranty.
