JoelsBuicks Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 On my '31-67, I'm trying to remove the headlights from the cross bar but I don't know where to go from here. I have removed the nuts and washers and nothing will budge. Are these things screwed into the castings on the bar? If so, it might required some heat to unfreeze them. Please advise and thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Have you tried to put a little bit of prying pressure in the split on the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelsBuicks Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Larry, I did but it was very little prying. It was at this point that I chose to take the pics and poll the masses.Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMicheletti Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 With the nuts removed, there is nothing else holding the lights. Your problem is just rust between the threads and the crossbar hole. You might try taping the threaded part with the nut on loosly with a soft hammer.I say put the nut on loosly because once the light begins to move it might just fall off. I always had to be careful when removing the lights from my '31-67 because once the nut was off, the lights just wanted to fall off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
