Going to be stripping a radio bezel today but the left side 12v source / cig lighter is on there pretty well and I don't want to break it with channel locks getting it out. Whats the best way to remove it? I don't want to get brake fluid inside of it

 

just twist it, its threaded on there. mine was pretty tight

 

x2. Just get a good grip and twist.

 

i twisted mine and they came out

 

Yep, just twist.

 

alright cool. I didn't want to break it lol

 

As he comes back in 5 minutes
"I CUT MY #&%%$##@ HAND !!"

 

nope but its not coming out even with channel locks lol

I'm just going to shove a nitrile glove in it or something

 

I actually took mine off again today to repaint my radio bezel. Grab a pair of channel locks and grab it at the far end where the wires connect. The metal is thinker back here and wont bend as easily. Hell if you bend it i=I have an extra one you can have if you pay shipping.

 

What are you putting it in brake fluid for?

 

I'll try again later but i did that already and it didn't want to come out
stripping the rubber crap off of the bezel

 

Grip and rip man

 

use a torch lol heat it up
