I have two alternative tools for extracting SIMM's. One is a sheetmetal
scribing tool which has a 90 degree bend at one end. Insert the tip in the
hole in the SIMM's PCB, and use the bend to provide leverage against the
plastic of the socket. Do this at both ends and voila! One removed SIMM! 

The other tool is a very small metal kitchen skewer. Since it's so small,
it's easy to use in tight locations. 

Regards,

Craig.
