kogyaru Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Greetings. I've got a one-eyed 1989 GL-10 wagon and I'm trying to replace the halogen bulb on the bad headlight. The bulb is secured to the back of the assembly with a yellow plastic locking ring. Whoever fastened it last (before I got the car a decade ago) over-tightened it, and I'll be danged if I can't remove it without breaking something. Might someone have an idea of what type of tool would be best for loosening this plastic collar? Adjustable pliers aren't big enough to go around the collar and would strip the teeth on its exterior. Tried using my belt but that didn't work. It's on too tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruparts Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 hi, slip joint pliers but if you break it the rings are not hard to get another one, unplug the wire connector first , that gives a bit easier access to it, spray water on it to act as a lube might help.

Flowmastered87GL Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Rubber strap wrench. Also works well to remove oil filters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
