Re: Can't Replace LightBulb on Car because Lock Ring is Stuck

I used some Knipex pliers and it worked like a charm! I needed to use a considerable amount of force though on one of them.

Re: Can't Replace LightBulb on Car because Lock Ring is Stuck

I have a 96' Accord.

I think I will try that pliers or channel locks. That sounds like a great idea!

Re: Setting Timing & TDC for '96 Honda Accord

I marked them before I took the wires off, but maybe they are not tight. I will check and make sure.
