Replacing crystal on quickstart board

Ok, I got my quickstart board, and a 6.25MHz crystal to overclock it to 100MHz. On the Gadget Gangster USB Platform, the crystal just slid out. But this one doesn't want to (and i dont want to force it). I read on the product info on the page, and it said something about removing a jumper and using a different socket. I located the socket, but not a jumper to remove. And the product info page has no docs that I can see, to help out.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I didn't see anything mentioned. Can someone help?

Thanks,
Daniel

    The crystal is soldered onto the board, so don't pull on it. To use another crystal, unsolder the zero-ohm resistor (marked 0) next to the crystal, and install your new crystal in the pair of holes below it.
