what i suggested was basicly the same thing you said, except sometimes it's kind of hard to torque something while holding it with your feet, vice can make it easier sometimes.

i wish i had a vice when i had to get a pulley off my power steering pump -.- shit took me 20 mins to do, cuz of the angle that it was at, i had to hold the pulley still with my foot, while using a pulley-puller, which you use a socket wrench to actually make it work...

anyways i only said that incase he tries what you said and can't quite get at the right angle, or whatever...

question to op: how damn special is this lamp anyways? i'd save myself the problems of struggling getting it out and just bust the damn thing, hell of a lot funner too, a long handled claw hammer or 15lb. sledge hammer can make just about anything fun
