	Reverse this procedure: https://www.thecj2apage.com/pdf/telltale%20installation.pdf It threads on the lamp holder. Maybe soak it with some good penetrate and unscrew it.

	Bob, I had to resurrect mine as well. Someone painted over it. So, I had to use pliers to get ahold of the bezel and break it free from the dash. The wiring harness was toast. I really wanted to retain the original parts rather than get a new one. If I recall correctly, the wire was soldered or riveted into a brass disk that made contact with the bulb. I had to use a very small drill bit to drill out the old wire. I then soldered in a new lead and put it all back together. It has worked fine. Micah
