Rear tail light body removal

Post by Pinto »

I need some suggestions please.
The rear tail light bodies have become stuck to the car because the original mounting rubbers have perished they are 54 years old
Any suggestions as to the removal of the body with out damage to tail light or car paint.
I have tried to tap a screw driver blade between the lamp and car but it is rock solid.
Thanks in advance.

You could probably work around them with a Stanley knife as the rubber is only about 1/4 inch wide except where the bolts are situated, then gently prise off with a screwdriver or similar.
Damage to the light cluster will be minimal as they are chrome plated mizak (?)
