Let us know what you find out BenT. I have been using needle nose pliers and holding my tong just right for this and often end up breaking at least one of these plastic thingies as they are brittle over time. :p David Marshall Fast Forward Automotive Inc. 4356 Quesnel-Hixon Road Quesnel BC Canada V2J 6Z3 Internet http://www.fastforward.ca Email sales@fastforward.ca - Engine Conversions and Accessories for classic water-cooled Volkswagens - Electrical harness fabrication and customization Due to the large quantity of email we receive, please include previous email correspondence when replying.

-----Original Message----- From: Syncro@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Syncro@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of BenT Syncro Sent: February 9, 2006 0:41 To: Vanagon Mailing List; Syncro (E-mail) Subject: [Syncro] Is there a tool for safely taking apart headlight assemblies? They must have some sort of 3-prong tool to take these headlights apart w/o destroying the plastic retainers. I've taken them out with small screwdriver's and needle nose pliers but looks like there is a specific tool for these. Anybody know what the VW special tool # is? TIA, -- BenT
