Theres installation instructions on the Arctic Silver website. they recommend a grain of rice sized blob vertically down the centre of the chip. You can get the old stuff off by using TIM cleaner, Methylated spirits, or Isopropyl Alcohol. Basically anything which evaporates without leaving a residue.

Meths you can get from chemists. Purple liquid.
