Removing and replacing a socket 7 socket

[Locksmiff]

I am not wanting to actually replace a faulty socket with a new one, I want to remove one from an old socket 7 board i have lying around and put it into my old Tyan Tomcat IIIS i have laying around and turn it into a Tyan Tomcat IIID. Everything seems to point to them both sharing the same design except the IIIS has one cpu, which is what i have, and the the IIID has 2.

Everything else appears to be there for it to be a dual cpu setup.

I am just after some hints and tips from anyones who may have removed and replaced a socket before and how they found the best way about it

I doubt if the board with the single CPU has ALL the components to support a second. Also, unless you have a really good PACE or Metcal soldering/desoldering station ($500 - $1000) don't even attempt removing a socket. Go buy one it'll be cheaper and less hassle. I've done rework on main boards, it's not easy. You usually end up tearing up the board even with the right equipment.

This Power Leap site has some cpu adapters & might be helpful.
Dont know whats on the Tyan,(socket 5 ?) but have a look.
