87 Chevy Caprice Brake Light Replacement
Ok I have run into a virtual "roadblock"  rying to replace a rear brake light bulb. My trunk tub is solid and in one piece and I cannot get to it from there or from underneath the car. So I cannot figure out a way to get to the socket to change the bulb or ANY bulb on the rear end. Please help if possible. Thank You!

Re: 87 Chevy Caprice Brake Light Replacement
Have you removed all of the plastic wingnuts from inside the trunk? The entire assembly can be pulled from the rear of the car after doing this.
If you've already taken the wingnuts off, and are having trouble getting the assembly out because the bumper is in the way, it may be due to body mount compression. If this is the case, jack the body(not the frame) about 1/2 inch or so. It should let the bumper lower itself, giving you enough clearance to remove the tail light panel. After that, twist and pull the sockets, and you're done.
