If you have had some experience removing IC's from circuit boards
removing the factory socket and replacing it with a ZIF socket is easy.
Remember the old socket doesn't have to come off in one piece but don't
damage the circuit board. Save the socket pieces, re-assemble them, and
plug this into a standard 24 pin socket. This gives you an adaptor for
your programmer so you can read other peoples' proms. Meanwhile you can
easily change your own prom without struggling with the RN adaptor. 

Just be sure to mark the pin 1 position prominently on the circuit board
and observe it when swapping. 2732s have a zero survival rate when
plugged in upside down.
