Can't get the light out!

Thanks for all the info Searcher. I was able to pull it back from the top about 20 degrees or so, and when I did that, all kinds of gunk came out, plus alot of black stuff which looked like it might have been dissolved rubber. I don't know whether anyone has ever opened the can; I've lived at the house for 10 years and I certainly never have... who knows what shape that thing is in. Anyway, I will give the rubber mallet a shot when I get home this evening. Thanks again!!

Ok, I got it out. You were right, there was some gunk in there preventing the bezel from easily slipping off the pin. A little rubber mallet action did the trick!! Everything "looks" normal in there, so it's on to the dye tests.

Wonderful! I sure am glad that you posted back to let us know that a recommendation worked.
