Default Removing Socket from Bullet Turn Signal Housings with my NEW Tool

Ok...so I had a rear Turn Signal with ROAD RASH...No Bueno

I decided to swap "Rashy" with a good housing (also good for getting your housings powder coated). I needed a tool to make it easy. People have bent up coat hangers for this and sure they'll work fine, but I wanted a nice tool and it had to be convertible to use for the single filament rear bulb and a future double filament front bulb.

So I made a one-piece billet tool (except for the pins)

Nice work! I'm not familiar with this signal (Deuce style?). Does the socket/reflector assembly just press into the housing? Mine were reflector-less and the sockets were held in with Phillips screws.

Yes, they just press in.

You're not familiar because you're working on that "older" stuff (Not that much older and me too).

First year Deuce came out with them in 2000 (that's why they call them "Deuce Style"). I think a very very few others got them in 2001. Then all applicable Harleys got them in 2002
