406 Headlamp Rim Removal
 
Hi All,
I need to remove the headlamp chrome rim on my 406 in order to replace the front sidelight bulb.
The Instruction Manual says "Remove the rim by pulling on the finger grip at the base of the rim when it will become entirely free"
I can rotate the rim, however, it is refusing to come off, even when attempting to remove it with a large padded screwdriver.
Maybe someone has been there before me...?
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Peter

Ha, Ha!
I have managed to answer my own question.
The answer - Sheer Brute Force!
Not the sort of thing I like to do around chrome or bodywork, but it worked.
