Re: Broken Bulb

unhook the battery and use needle nose plyers. May want some safty glasses to keep flying glass chips from your eyes. That would really suck! Remember Safty first! lol

Re: Broken Bulb

If Xero's idea does not work and there is glass left on the bulb you can unhock the battery and then try a piece of apple, just smash the apple into buld glass and then remove the bulb. replace the bulb and reinstall. Bellieve me...it does work Ive done it in the past. the only problem is if the bilb is corroded in ti the scoket. Let us know.

Re: Broken Bulb

ya. i was thinking of using a potato. i got it off. found out the manual has the wrong size bulb in it. it was much bigger than what i pulled out of the wiring harness. now i just need to find out how to change my fuel filter without a jack.

Re: Broken Bulb

the only reason i didnt say the potatoe trick is all that potatoe juice getting into the socket isnt good, it'll cause corrosion if not cleaned out of the socket.

Werm9, you should be able to change you fuel filter by laying under the gas tank head first, or is your GA lower'd? I couldnt tell from ur sig. I changed mine this way a couple times.
