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!

That's a great idea. Actually that's all most fancy bulb extractors really are, just an appropriately sized piece of flexible material.

I've used plastic vacuum line.....don't remember if it was the MB stuff or the clear pastic stuff that came with my MityVac.
