Now you have removed the heatsink clip you can remove the bottom cover to reveal the circuit board to desolder the transistors. I should add that as Dieselman has helpfully reminded us quite frequently these ECU ignition out transistors overheat due to problems with...

ECU ignition output transistors Came across some useful discussions on the replacement of ignition output transistors for engine ECU's which might be of help to some folks on here. The transistor you're looking for is an NPN Darlington with (IIRC) 20A Icmax, and something like 100-200V...

Does anyone know how to check one of these with a simple multimeter? I think mine is over-heating due to the heatsink behind it drying out - but before i roll my sleeves up and pull it off, i wondered if anyone knew the ohm readings? Also, is there a paste which i could buy in a hardware...
