I know what your thinking. "Why the hell would i want to REMOVE CPU pins?".

I'm doing a project with a old Intel CPU. I want to make a belt buckle. Don't ask, i'm just really nerdy. That's all.

The CPU's pins are in the way of this old CPU socket (For some reason off the motherboard but i wanted it anyway.) and are literally stabbing the inside. So how could i remove them? un-Soldering isn't an option.

(The CPU and Motherboard were fried, and burnt. Some idiot removed the cpu fan, and burnt the cpu and motherboard. (Yes it's that old.)

Those things are supposed to be embedded into the substrate, so I don't think they would come out with just heat. Unless you have a belt sander made for that metal type, I suggest cutting first with wire snips so you aren't there all day (and the next day too probably) filing the thing down

You mean i could file them? That wouldn't be such a bad idea. By the way I've tried the heat gun method. Those suckers wont come off.

I'll try it. Also it apparently works like this for the heat. The heat melts the silicon in the cpu pins just making them fall off. Too bad mine are made differently.

You do realize silicon has a melting temperature of ~1400C right? You'll melt off the pins long before the silicon!:pfff:
