Step 1: Desolder the connector.
Step 2: Pull
Step 3: There is no step 3

what do you mean? do you simply want to remove the slot to save space? or do you want to relocate it somewhere else. if you simply want to remove the slot, you'll have to desolder all the points that connect the slot to the circuit board. if you want to relocate the slot, you will have to do that and then run wires from the controller to the slot.

If you dont have one, get a de-soldering iron from radioshack. It's only like 7.00, and its sooooo usefull. And I tried and failed getting it off with a normal soldering iron.
