Default Powdercoating Turn Signals

Is there an easy way to remove the brake and turn signal light housings for powdercoat? The inside isnt wanting to come out and I dont want to damage them. No details other than a drawing in the service manual. Youtube video would be nice!

Not sure which bike your refering to but the bullet turn signals pop out using a flat head screw driver to pry around the edges of the internals. Then you just have to disconnect the wires from the connectors. Pretty simple.

I took apart the bullet signals on my Sportster for powder coat. The guts of the signal were just held inside by pressure with a rubber sleeve/gasket. I just carefully pried around the edges with a small flathead until it came loose. The parts were not nearly as fragile as I thought they were once I got them out and looked at them.

I'm sure the Dyna signals are pretty much the same, if not exactly the same.

I actually have a few pictures that I posted in a Sportster forum to help someone else out. I'll put them up here. Maybe they will help.

Compressed air works good too. Put it in where the threads are and it will pop right out.

Did it the hard way! Use a binder clip on the inside where the bulb goes to pull the guts out. Much easer
