I socketed a couple PCM's, wasn't too happy with it (maybe my Automotive background warning signs....). I would not do it again, much happier with soldering direct back down. PLCC's are so solid, sockets are such a pain, I could probably get it off faster without the socket and my tools.... I have a non PCM that the memory sorta jammed in the socket and I never could get it out, cut the crap out of my hand trying... Tossed it....
I would rather keep a spare PCM on hand and just fix the other one later.

Sockets tend to fail easily with this 1994-1997 LT1 computers, so we put the chips back in just like the factory did.
