Flaps Indicator Bulb Removal
My flaps up bulb is burnt out I believe. The other position bulb are fine. Got the lens off. My challenge is how the heck to get the bulb out to replace it. Does anyone have anyone experience or advise. Sure do not want to break the old bulb. Any help is really appreciated.

Re: Flaps Indicator Bulb Removal
I found that stripping a couple of inches of insulation from a piece of 12g electrical wire gives you a good tool - you gently push the insulation over the bulb head and then pull, and it pops right out! If you search for "flap bulb" in the forum you will find several older threads on this topic with other suggestions...
