replacing headlights

Hey all! Does anyone know of a diy for taking off headlights? I took em off okay, but can't get the long scrue that hooks up to a little joint.. A DIY would help a lot.

I believe that long screw you are talking about is the adjuster. You shouldn't have to remove that when you replace the lights. The new ones should have come with new ones, the ones I bought on ebay did because the clips that hold the adjusters are a different size than the original ones.

My new ones DID come with new adjusters. How did you remove them?

Just cut the old ones, break them, whatever you need to do and not destroy the bucket frame. I believe I just cut mine with a small grinder and removed them that way.
