how many people to change a lightbulb 172?!

[Danith]

how the frig do you change the driver's side, sidelight bulb on a phase 1 172?!?!

cant get my hand in there!

 

[Laura]

take the engine out lol

 

[Danith]

yeah or at least the aircon! MISSION! CBA.

 

[kully]

luckily i have small hands and alot of potential :evil:

 

[Munchkin]

I managed it ok on the ph1 172 but not even close to doing that side on the 182!!!!

Skin will be lost!

 

[DebV6]

Had the same problem on the 182, and I have tiny hands! Manged it eventually though, just have to push the aircon pipe over as much as you can, but i still cut my hands up a bit lol!

 

[Danith]

cut hands or risk total humiliation by asking someone else to do it.
i'll get my gloves on.
french car makers never think about things like this when making their cars i found. pain in bottom. even checking the dipstick on this car is a ballache.

i did mine this morning just the bulb anti clockwise a quarter of a turn and out it pops easy as that. stop being a girl and just get on with it, it won't do its self while you are sat on the internet

 

[Danith]

no it wont! its a bit tricky when im in work tho!
i thought it was as such but didnt want to scrape all my skin off only to find out that theres a much easier way to do it afterwards!

 

[ChrisR]

I found the other side harder due to the bloody air feeds in the way.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

I use similar to this, makes it easy to do and you dont hurt your hands.

The rounded end holds the sidelight bulb holder easy, just dont grip it to tightly.
