    I would replace the pads since the one ripped, just to be on the safe side. You’re also right about the twist method being unsafe, it’s better to use heat and gently pry with something like a flat screwdriver.

      Oh, I did replace the thermal pads. I mentioned the new pads in the text somewhere, but didn’t include a photo.
