Default 1985 ECM and chip

I am going to change the cip in my 1985 ECM Its a 2732 E-Prom and it is put in a sort of socket. This socket is a plastic type put over the E-Prom and then this is put into a socket on the printed circuit board. I am afraid this first mentioned plastic is brittle and if this breakes it is not possible to enter the E-Prom into the circuitboards socket.

Question. Do anybody here know where to buy this first mentioned plastic socket or retainer for the E-Prom??

And how to take the ECM out of the car in a simple way?

Hi.
Andthanks for the answer. The unit is in the car and I have problems now to get it. But it is a black plastic frame that you can put the Eprom in to When that is done this is a unit that is put into the circuit board socket. The pins on the Eprom is pressed against the wall of the frame and when the frame unit is put into the socket the pins do not enter holes there but are slided outside some metal contacts.
To get the Eprom out of the plasticframe is difficult as the pins can be damaged.
If you had one I would very much appreciate to buy it
