I don't know why people are saying things like "wear goggles". If the
WD40 idea doesn't work, just put a sock or something over the bulb,
break it, then force the remaining base to unscrew with pliers, or 2
pairs of pliers (one on each side of the metal base).




Some day when you get a metal filing,piece of glass or just scratch your
cornea doing general stuff, then you will understand.

If you think it's stupid to wear safety glasses doing this then you should
really get off knowing I sometimes wear safety glasses even when painting.
Not because of paint. Because of bushes & shrubs.

You need to experience (and probably will with your comment) day 1 of a
scratched cornea.
