Heatsink trouble now!

Anyone know how to remove a heatsink which looks like this?

(I know it does look distgustingly filthy - no wonder it was getting so hot
with all that fluff in there!)

I've tried pressing down on the latch thing but then it seems you need to
bend the two metal side bits out so they can pass over the white bits, but
even then it doesn't seem to want to move.

The other side of the heatsink doesnt have that part on...
