Small screw driver with care and patience. It's just pressed down onto the memcal, there is no solder.

No, it is soldered; at least every one is I have seen. You can either unsolder it to remove it, cut the legs off with a dremel tool, or get a mem-cal adapter like what is shown here: http://www.moates.net/produ...25_36&products_id=32

ok got the brown chip out, there might be some sodier it just looked like some corroision that needed to be cleaned off, the chip removed easy with some time, the problem now is the cable does not go all the way in due to the second board on the memcal and i cant tell whitch way the cable connects it does not have a U notch in it?

The ribbon cable coming from the adapter should have a red stripe on one of the ends. That needs to face away from the knock sensor interface circuit board on the mem-cal. If the circuit board is in the way of your socket, you can carefully push it away a little bit but not too much that you damage it. If you don't have enough room for the socket I suggest you order the G1 mem-cal adapter from moates.net.

This is a very good topic I am going to look through all of it. I plan to do this myself. I have a 3.4L and just bought the ECM and a wiring harness. I will need the rest of the parts.

I am putting a 3.4 DOHC engine in my car and some say that this ECM will work some say it wont . I think it will if it will run the igntion system it should be able to run the rest of the engine it just might take some tinkering on the tuning to get the fuel and spark correct like any othe engine

Thanks Darth, that's why I asked for someone else to respond. I used the Moates G1 Memory adapter like you suggested. He did not have that in his picture.
EDIT: Here is what the Moates adapter with memcal looks like (top left), memcal by itself (top right), and prom by itself (bottom).
And Moates adapter with memcal installed in the ECM:
