Quoted from ChrisHibler:

I used to mess with trying to get the old sockets to work, but it's just not worth it to me anymore. I pull and replace the socket most times now.

Do you just get them from pbr? I would do that too if I could find a place that sold them fairly cheap. $1 and change per socket really ads up after doing a few games.
