I'm looking to clean my AM4 socket on my MSI motherboard. It appears to have some debris that needs to be removed. I couldn't find any information on how to remove the socket to clean it.

The closest I found to this was this post - https://hardforum.com/threads/broke-am4-socket-cover.1979556/ which shows that it can be done although the OP does not go into detail on how to do this.

I also came across this video on YouTube ( ) to remove an AM3 socket but the CPU latch isn't as easy to remove on AM4 as it is on AM3.

Could someone help me with this please?
