65 Headlamp Assembly Removal

[Mike W.]

Help! We are painting a 65 coupe and lack one bolt on each headlamp housing to be able to remove it. Can't seem to get a wrench on the bolt head. Part of the assembly is in the way.

If you remove the motors, you can rotate the buckets into position such that the three bolts on each side are accessible through the provided holes in the end walls of the buckets.

You'll have to remove the "Y" stops as well.

don't use a wrench on the bolt head, a 1/4in. rachet drive with the correct bolt head size from inside the housing with a small extension if memory serves me correctly is required
