Dismantling Skyline tail lights

[WTF_Lex]

hi peoples,

does anyone have a step by step guide to how to pull apart a skyline tail light to the point where i can get the diffuser/reflector/lenses etc out of the lights?

as i can gather at a quick glance, id just take all the screws off and then stick in the opver to heat up the glue and try to pull it apart?

is it possible? has anyone done it or seen it done before?

thanks for the help

the last time my friend did that he melted his headlight...hahaha.

try soaking the whole thing in hot water to loosen the glue then slice with a pen knife...at least that's what i've been told the japs do

if its a r33, you need to take off the 'skyline' bracket off first. This has 4 screws plus a middle plastic thingy, need to pop that out too.

then unscrew the screws on the tail light and slowly pull it out, pull it from side to side, wiggle it. or from the inside, use something to hammer it out from the screw. Or use a screw driver from the outside and pop it out, best point to pop it out is the indicataor, where it seems like the light has been chipped. (weird how i;ve found alot of skylines at that particular point, seems chipped)

the glue isnt so bad. knock it out
