High Beam bulb change

Post Mon Sep 14, 2015 4:52 pm

I need to change the high beam bulb but can't get the cap off. I've tried putting oil between the cap and the metal housing but it won't budge.

Any tips? It defiantly does come off?

Should just be a case of twist and pull. But you knew that!

You should have put the oil there several years ago! So called 'white rust' is the problem.
Penetrating fluid might help, but if it won't loosen up, you'll have to put a pair of grips on it and risk it breaking. In most cases they'll free up, but I've had one or two that I've had to destroy to get off.

You might be able to get a oil filter wrench on it if you dont have grips.

Cheers for the replies, I've decided it is easier to buy another cap and take a hacksaw to the ceased ones.
