mmm my apogee GT backplate was welded to the bottom of my old board.
I found that an even pressure on one lifted side and a blunt knife slid under the lifted side to cut the pad worked well enough. Adding some drops of arctic clean helped break the pad up and with cleaning the residue off the board. You just have to be careful not to scrape the solder points.
