In the middle of tach replacement

How do I remove the remaining three lights from the back of this tach from my 77 911? I didn't want to pry too hard and when I pulled, well, that seemed like it could make matters worse (I think one of the bulbs has fallen into the tach). How are these removed? TIA. Bob

Use a very thin screwdriver or a knife edge and you should be able to pry them out. If I remember right, you should be able to remove them by pushing down on the bulb w/ your finger and turn CCW.

Yup, perfect. Just didn't want to pry to had until I was sure. The people on this board are the BEST! Thanks, Ryan. Now I've got to figure out how to fish the two bulbs out from inside of the tach.

You pry the metal lip around the colored bulb holder. The entire sleeve comes up, allowing you access to the bulbs. Good luck!
