    Looks to me like a small pair of vice grips would take those out no problem.

    My last batch of A140's had those security screws on the heatsinks, I just used a pair of needle pliers to undo them.

    Default Pliers

    I tried the needle nose but could not budge them the security screw driver worked fine after widening it a bit then there was more security two tri wings on the diode array another trip to harbor freight took care of those.
    They are out now No Potting to deal with. It would not be in their best interest to pot the back of them since they do not provide replacement arrays, they will only repair the array you have that information is strait from the service department.
