However I do not consider that to be a viable solution and I should not have to break a bulb to remove it, esp. if it is not defective. I'm thinking about a little rubber funnel or something that will grip the bulb while ai push and turn, but have not come up with the proper tool yet.</div><div class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff;"><br clear="none"></div><div class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff;">Dave Porter just responded: <span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);">A 1.5 inch long fuel/coolant hose...presto chango.</span></div><br clear="none"><div><div class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734gmail_default" style="color:rgb(51,51,255);">Best--Michael Oritt</div><br clear="none"></div></div><br clear="none"><div class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734yqt3728937836" id="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734yqt25952"><div class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734gmail_quote"><div class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Tue, Nov 26, 2019 at 5:03 PM i erbs <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:eyera3000@gmail.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">eyera3000@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote class="ydpa6b460f5yiv7771808734gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;"><div dir="ltr">what I have done in other applications i break the glass and then use a needle nosed pliers to grab the base push and turn it out.<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Ira Erbs<div>Portland,OR</div><div><span> _______ _______</span><br clear="none"><span> (______ \____1959 BN4____/ _______)</span><br clear="none"><span> (_________________________)</span></div><div> BT7 engine and disk brakes</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>1967 MGB <img src="http://www.britishcarspecialists.com/assets/images/MG_emblem.jpg" alt="MG" data-inlineimagemanipulating="true"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);">A racing car is an animal with a thousand adjustments.
