WHAT IT IS FOR

Opening a sealed headlight unit without

destroying it.

Modern headlamps are bonded shut with butyl

sealant. Once the sealant is softened with heat,

the lens still has to be worked off the housing

evenly - and that is where units get cracked,

tabs get snapped and housings get gouged.

Needed for replacing a yellowed or crazed lens,

for drying out a unit that has taken in water,

for replacing a perished gasket, and for

retrofit work inside an OEM housing.

AP601 - LENS REMOVER

The claw tip is straight, so it goes into a tight

joint rather than needing one levered open

first.

Squeeze the handle and the tip splits into three

and spreads. A barb on the tip stops it slipping

back out and holds the opening while you work

along the seam.

That matters because the usual failure is losing

the gap you have just made and starting again a

few centimetres along.

Weight 191 g.

AP602 - LENS WEDGE (x2)

Two wedges, to hold open what the remover has

separated.

Work along the seam, leave a wedge behind, move

on. Two is the right number for one unit: one at

the last opened point, one going in at the next.

AP603 - GASKET SPATULA

For fitting a new gasket into the housing on

reassembly.

The tip is silicone, chosen for release. Fresh

butyl sticks to everything, including the tool

pressing it home, and a spatula that drags the

gasket back out of its channel turns a ten

minute job into an hour.

Weight 8 g.
