The easiest way to mount the heatsink unit, is to mount it on the M/B on a flat surface, before you install the M/B in the case.

To install or remove an hsf for an athlon cpu you should use a panel driver. This is an electricians small slotted screwdriver. It has a very long shaft that is helpfull for access and leverage. The small tip fits in the grove of the hsf very tightly.
