Well, you have to remove the motherboard from the locomotive.  Then what I do is pry the black shell off the 24-pin connector, that leaves the contacts in the board.  You can then secure the MB in a vise and heat each pin and pull it out with needle-nose pliers to remove it.  I clean the solder out the holes and then solder in the dual row 0.025" square post header.  Obviously, you want a decent soldering iron to do this, I use 550F on my workstation for this kind of work.
