The procedure is explained (in three lines) in the VAXstation 4000 Model 90 
Service Information (EK-KA490-SV. A01) page 6-47.

It is also explained in VAXstation 4000 Model 60 and VLC
Condensed Service Information (EK-V466H-PS. A01) page 3-10.

The details for the VAXstation 3100 Model 76 came out of its maintenance
manual.

As far as I know, anyone can order these.

You didn't think I'd made it up did you :-)
