I also use a (semi-) sacrificial chip puller like this:

Sacrificial because you are going to be bending it wider than intended of
course...

It lets you get the card near the SBUS connector and helps give you
consistent upwards pull.  My ss10/20 (with the latches of course) are
pretty cramped and getting fingers in between cards (assuming multiple
SBUS/MBUS card) isn't really gonna happen.
