Recently, I notice that my cpu temperature full load is about 99 c, so I'm replacing Intel stock cooler with water block, but I can't get the cooler out.

I know there is so many thread teaching this, rotate the 4 pins pull out and they should come off.

I unpined the 4 pin already but still unable to pull the cooler out. May be the cpu stuck with heat sink. Please help me get the cooler out.

I've run this computer for 2 years.
My cpu socket is lga 1150.

I'm not English native speaker. Sorry if I use some word incorrectly.

The CPU is secured with a metal bracket, and cannot be pulled free from the motherboard. The bracket is bolted to the board, with a backplate, so it cannot be pulled free from the motherboard. If you've successfully gotten the pins loose, I would recommend twisting/turning the heatsink to break the seal between the CPU and heatsink.

Finally, I pulled it out by twisting heatsink. And I removed everthing out Gpu MB cooler ram, also I broke the fan, fin and heat sink. The heat sink is melted. Some of heatsink is crack and stuck on the cpu.

Looks like the always overheat for 2 years make this happen.
 
I imagine what you're seeing is thermal pad. The melting point of aluminum is 1220F / 660C, which would have spontaneously combusted the walls around your computer. Make sure you use a new thermal compound between the CPU and whatever new heatsink you put on.
