87 300D ACC PBU bulb replacement

Even wonder what to do with that left over bit of injector return line? I found a use for it. A bulb in my ACC PBU went out. I took off the wood panel, peeled off the black tape and wondered how to extract the bulb. I don't have pliers small enough to grip the bulb let alone with the added thickness of electrical tape to pad the pincers. I saw a 3" length of unused braided injector return line sitting on the shelf and tried it. The best part is it just fits in the bulb tunnel. I pushed in the hose until it contacted the bulb then gave it a couple of full turns. I pulled out the hose and the bulb came with it. Sweet! Fitting the new bulb was only slightly more trouble because I had to align the contacts with the socket. Once the bulb felt engaged, I pushed on the hose to fully seat the bulb. Then I pulled out the hose while turning it so it wouldn't stick to bulb and extract it again. That's it!
