After u click the two locks..? u pull two of the sides holders each way, then just pull it out, thats it. Im not sure how much sense this makes but that is it.

i pull them which way thats the thing. i need detailed instructions.

theres two white locks, the go up and the opposite way (like a clock?)

There are two white levers, make sure they are no longer applying pressure to the hsf. After you flip these back (relieving the heatsink of pressure) you pry the black tabbed arms back from the retention unit (secured around the cpu) pull these arms up while you pull them back and lather rinse and repeat for the other side. If you have any q's go ahead, maybe somebody can find a pic.
