The way a lady at my work did them was to crack out the bottom piece of the
socket to give better access to the pins. She didn't typically put the
bottom piece back in since we used the PLCC socket to plug into an emulator
pod so there was no need for it (shoulder around the POD connector wouldn't
allow it to fit too deeply into the socket. I suppose if you just dropped
the bottom of the socket back in place before plugging in the chip that
would probably be sufficient.
I just did a plcc68 smt socket in the same way, and it worked fine. I
put the bottom piece back in, and it looks fine.
