Anyone Change TIM on Gigabyte 6800GT?

[PC911mickster]

My Gigabyte 6800GT with the massive heatsink and pipes is in serious need of new TIM...like AS5.
Temps are getting way too high in Direct3D games.

I've never done a change like that...yet.
Has anyone actually removed one from this model(GV-N68T256DH)? If so, please help me with some instruction in how to do it.

TIA!
