There are clips on the side you push outwards, correct? I've never

The clips are up and I've worked on a lot of iMacs and have seen
several with ram that just wont budge.
I was hoping for a solution other that taking a chance with the
pliers.
It's a mechanical problem and that requires a mechanical solution.
Or you can try some of the late Steve's "magical thinking."
Some RAM manufacturers don't adhere to size standards as religiously
as they should, which is why you're looking at a too-tight
interference fit that requires a brute force resolution.
HTH,

Brute force it will be, I just installed a MOBO in this machine and I
really didn't pay attention to the slots being tight. But the magical
thinking is an option. Snky:-)
