My 9700 Pro lost a heatsink and I am going to redo all the heatsinks with quality thermal goo. How do I remove the adhesive that is already on there? If I shave it off I think I will make the surface uneven.

Thanks
 
goo gone or something similar. melts the pad right off, wash with dish washing liquid and wipe down with isopropyl alcohol.( :
 
razor blade?? shave?? hmmm i used a hairdryer on it until it got really hot and then i just wiped it off with coffee filter and rubbing alcohol (worked like a charm and the heatsink surface was just as smooth). i was able to reuse the heatsink afterwards (applied AS on it) but the bad thing was that my fingers were raw afterwards :(
