Changing #555 bulbs

(1/2) > >>

Sir Headless VII:
How does one remove a #555 bulb? I got one out without much of a problem but the next one I tried refused to come out. If the answer to how to get it out is just pull it out then does anyone have any tips for removing a stuck #555 bulb?

Jeff AMN:
Do you have an extra shooter tip around? The suction power of that combined with some wiggling will pull it loose. Just work the shooter tip over the bulb about halfway, squeeze to cause a suction effect, and pull it.

shardian:
Pull harder?

Sorry man, there isn't much to tell you. Either its coming out, or it isn't. You might just have to break it and then clean out the socket. Worst case - replace the socket.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure there wants anything stupidly simple I was missing.
