Grand Cherokee - headlight assembly removal
We have a 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo
and can't get the headlight assembly to pull out - http://www.wjjeeps.com/lamps/lampsrem.htm#EXTERIORREM I've removed the long 7mm hex screw, and have tried and tried - but can't get a grip to pull - Any suggestions on how to get this monster headlight assembly to pull out from the 3 ball sockets ? How the hell do the service people do it ? |
Re: Grand Cherokee - headlight assembly removal
They rock and pull it a little harder with the aid of pry bars like
a cloth covered screwdriver, or paint scraper.

Also - on the wiring harness there was a nittle "nib" that seemed to fit on a plastic pin at the bottom near the ball, so I pushed it back onto that pin before shoving the assembly.... tnx again for the help - Phil - |
