    you could always use a hammer.




    duct tape, a sledgehammer, bubble gum, and toothpics will fix anything. ANYTHING.

    Use a crowbar. I am being dead serious. Have someone pop the headlight up and down while you stand out there and figure out where it's sticking. Just stick the crowbar in there and bend slightly. It worked for me, however, my new headlight assembly is coming soon if that tells you anything. My advice, do it in slow increments or you'll be screwed over like I am.

    Also. Don't use WD-40 as it tends to dry out and cause the same, if not bigger, problems down the road. Just use lubricating oil.

    use white lithium grease, that stuff works great. Also sillicone is great too because it doesnt degrade rubber and plastic like wd 40 somtimes can
