I tried pulling out the front, didnt work. One T10 holds the ambers on, i got it, but beyond that, the only 2 exposed bolts were a pair of T15's. I turned them 14 turns out, and it started getting difficult to back them further, so i turned them 14 back to where they were.

okay, those O-rings are the biggest PITA's i've dealt with in a while! I managed to not touch the glass with my skin, but damn i had to fight them suckers in. Would up unbolting them from the body and fighting them on the floor, then bolting them back on, and unsnaking the wiring harness to make it so I could see/feel what the hell I was doing.

Then replaced the fogs (one of which had come completely out of it's cup, and was hanging by the alignment spring), hooked the stero back up from the flooding and made sure it works, and spray painted the sub box finally. All that's left is replacing the belt.

Hint:
Once the blood has dried on your hands, coat the O-rings with a little silicone grease - turns the fight into a mere arguement.
