TR6 TR6 Blub replacement

[jd72tr6]

I was wondering if anybody has replaced spedo or tach, bulbs? the only way I see it is bending the holder fingers to be able to turn the bulb. anybody have a different way? any help would be great! thanx, Jim

Don't bend them you'll never get them back into shape. I just kept trying and yes I suffered a few cuts. Maybe a pair of tweezers to get around the bulb.

Here's something that works that I've done in the past. Make your fingertips tacky by dabbing them on some sort of tape or adhesive. That way you'll get a much better grip on the top of the bulb surface thereby allowing you to turn the bulb.

Two things. Push in and turn. And have your wife (girlfriend) do it. Their fingers are smaller.

A replacement pencil eraser works real good along with Bills advice "Push in and turn".

. . . or get two of those rubber fingers at an office supply store. You know, the ones people use to flip paper with.
