this worked for me, but instead of putting nuts on I rested the flat part of a spanner over the bottom of the bolts and tapped the spanner with a hammer. either way works Wink

Nothing other than the rubber gasket having become rather fond of both the lamp and boot lid...

See previous posters for how to proceed.

If that doesn't work as it didn't on mine I got a piece of a cardboard to protect the paint and a small screw driver and pryed it out.

Hi,

Had a search as thought this would be already covered but it appears not?, basically I'm trying to remove my top bake light the long one along the time. Opened boot removed 2 bolts thinking it would just push up put it won't move I didn't want to really force it incase there was something else holding it in?

Thanks in advance.
