Removing rear light assembly??

[flashpixx]

Should the retaining bolt be tight? There is no way I can move it by hand, and even using a small spanner seems tight. I've left it alone in case I strip/break something. The way I read the advice on here no tools are required??

You dont need any tools, should just undo by hand.

I dont know why yours is so tight

Hey,

I don't like being a forum nazi, but where possible, can you add to existing threads on topics, or title threads with relevant info (referring to the thread titled: 'Just another little VW quirk'). This helps searching later on and keeps info together.

Sorry to be a ****...

happy to

FYI the thread re removing the taillight assembly is 1. Closed and 2. Pics are deleted. Perhaps we could update that thread and there would be no need for a new one

The FAQ thread is well old.

Sounds like you did your homework, thanks for trying to keep it neat and tidy. No need to delete this or anything, as I spend too much time on here I come across a lot of threads like 'help please' or something... not nearly as bad as Vortex, but pays to keep info in one place.

Cheers.

cheers.

On topic, the other side taillight assembly bolt wont move with hand pressure either. Me thinks a gorilla has been changing globes.

When I get it sorted I should update the sticky with text and pix... unless someone else has done the same and a search didn't find it for me.

Flashpixx, did you try spraying it with lubricant? Cheers Al

No I didn't - where exactly, where the head of the retaining bolt seats to the body?
