Removing RAM from new Aluminum 24" iMac

What's the best way to remove the RAM chips from the new aluminum 24" iMac? I had a leftover 256 MB chip that I installed for a total of 1.25 GB of RAM, but now I would like to go to 4 GB. The RAM is very snug in there, and I don't want to break or damage it with pliers because I can use it in my Dell laptop. Suggestions? Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.10), 2.4 GHz C2D 4 GB RAM 160 GB HD

Hi JMF

The Apple article say's to "Untuck the tab in the memory compartment. If you are replacing a memory module, untuck the tab and pull it to eject any installed memory module"

Thanks. I read this before I started and I did pull the tabs, but you must have to pull really hard because that is what I was doing and nothing was happening. I didn't want to break anything. I'll give it another go. Thank you.
