Macintosh II Mac Alley accelerator removal

I recently acquired a Macintosh II which had a 030 accelerator card in the CPU socket. I'm wondering how to safely remove this so I can inspect underneath.

Any pointers?

It looks like it's mounted just like the original CPU into the pin socket. Pull it out evenly to not bend the pins on the bottom of the card.
