The bikes earthed anyway so no static strap needed.

It's pretty tight in there all I used was a bent small flat blade screwdriver to ease it out, prise it up slightly at one end, then the other and so on, as not to bend the pins.

When fitting the new chip ensure you put it in the correct way round, theres a notch in one end to indicate the correct way round, and if the legs are bowed out slightly lie the chip flat on it's side and gentle move the eprom to bend all the pins gently at the same time so they are all square and will slot in without a problem.
