Am I on the right track here? If so, what do I have to do to remove
the housing. After working at it for a while I didn't get very
far at all. One would think that one has to rip the ceiling to
get that housing out, but I can't believe the system would be that
stupid.

How does one fix a situation like this, without ripping out a big
chunk of ceiling?


The solutions for removing broken light-bulb bases are as varied as the
remedies for hiccups. All work to one degree or another.

Before you begin on the list, slather the socket with WD-40.


Hi,
I just turn off the power to the fixture and use needle nose plier and
then you know what. To prevent this kinda trouble I always use a dab of
Silicon dielectric grease on the bulb base.
