What's the best way to remove the housing for the dash accessories?
AKA, the part of the cigar lighter that is set into the dash. i would rather NOT remove the entire dash. Hoping someone can decribe a simple method. Thank you. |

My lighter socket was different from the one pictured, it had a spin on NUT that was easy to remove.
I made my own tool to remove the switches by slotting a nickel with a hack saw. |

Early lighters were retained by a spring ring (picture above) which is a PITA to remove. The later cars (1974-) from my experience had a large nut like retainer with a compression spring holding them in which made it much easier to remove and install.
