Because of recent server problems and unprecedented total lack of
response from the list, I am re-sending this. Sorry if you saw it
earlier and have already been annoyed!

Subject: removing cigarette lighter redux

I am once again trying to remove the cigarette lighter from the dash of
my 83.5 V'gon

Without breaking anything this time. Those on the list who've succeeded
in the past say the little lamp holder "snaps off." How? Does it slide
along the axis of the cylinder one way or the other first? Do you need
to use a screwdriver to pry it off? When I try simply to lift it off
from one side or the other between thumb and index it does not budge and
I am afraid I'll break the plastic tabs on the green part, as I did with
my spare. Please answer directly. I do not see to be receiving list
traffic today for some reason.
