| Once the bulb is inserted and rotated to the locked position, the small hooked end of the safety wire is used to snag the edge of the bootie and remove it from the bulb. \\ | Once the bulb is inserted and rotated to the locked position, the small hooked end of the safety wire is used to snag the edge of the bootie and remove it from the bulb. \\ |

| I've had success with a piece of 3/16" ID fuel hose. Made a shallow cut with a 3/8" drill bit to enlarge the opening a little and cut 4 slits to allow the hose to wrap around the bulb. Putting something tacky on the hose for grip might help but I didn't need to. Push down and turn with the hose to unlock from the socket and then stick some tape on it to pull it out. Crude but it worked for me. \\ | I've had success with a piece of 3/16" ID fuel hose.
