Socketing the CPU in an SE/30

[PacificState]

I have an SE/30 with a soldered CPU, and found a Daystar Digital 40Mhz accelerator - which obviously needs a socket!

I'm comfortable with re-working PCBs, and have a desoldering gun that should make short work of removing the existing 68030 from the board - along with a new Mill-Max socket. Even with that taken care of, however, it looks like the SE/30 socket may need to be fairly tall (images below, with all credit due to the original photographer) - certainly taller than the socket I have - and otherwise much chunkier, which I suspect is required in order to clear the surrounding components.

Has anyone tried desoldering their SE/30 CPU to fit an accelerator?

Isn’t that what the PDS slot was for? But good job installing that socket for the 030

Some of my upgrades have stacked sockets, basically just a spare socket plugged into the soldered one. Gives you extra height.
