doctee Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hi, you may have a way of removing the dash bulb from it's holder, if so don't bother to read any further, if like me you have broken the bulb with pliers and/or your fingers (cut finger tips sting like petrol in your eye, yes i have done that as well) this tip is for you, please read on---------All you need is a tubeless tyre valve (get one for a couple of quid from your friendly tyre fitter). take the tyre valve and push the rubber end on to the bulb and push and turn and hey presto the bulb unscrews, if it does break it won't cut your fingers and you can get the rest out with some long nose pliers, but i have done this loads of times and have never broke the bulb. If it saves one triumph owners fingers my work is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordleonusa Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 That's a neat idea, I must try it.I have used blu-tack for years, but cannot get it in the USA and my old blu-tack is drying out.L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 neat idea. Wonder if a bit of small-bore fuel pipe would work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctee Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 hi flexible petrol pipe will work but the tyre valve is a bit firmer and dosent catch on the claws of the bulb holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
