The metal part with the hex flats is a nut that should unscrew without rotating the bulb. In fact, usually the hard part is getting the bulb out after the nut has been unscrewed. Next time I'm facing one that is badly stuck, I may try using electrolysis to clean out the corrosion and free up the bulb. http://goo.gl/gIKld But fortunately, so far anyway, a good coating of anti-seize has prevented the problem from reoccurring for me. -- Randall |
