tailight corrosion
My brake light is out, and when i took out the taillamp and the socket to change it, i found out that it's sealed in by rust. What's the best way to get it out (short of breaking the bulb (I have no sledgehammer :P) and using a vise grip or such to beast out the threads) /clean the terminal?
