S1 headlight removal.....PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME!
standing facing the car...its the right one...tryign to take it out to put in the new duct...
top left...two screws...they are out
top right....plastic thing, turned it 90 degrees and pops out...
BOTTOM RIGHT!! where the headlight adjuster is....i need to pop it out where the ball joint sits, as the duct has the little plastic cap that the ball joint sits in......BUT I CAN'T GET THE BAS**RD THING OUT
you can't get in to turn it (no room) i can't just pull it, as it'll break the plastic cap where the ball joint sits....
ANY SUGGESTIONS!?!?!?!
got my disc cutter behind me....and i'm sooooo tempted to use the bloody thing at the moment!!!!
so please do your bit to save a decent S1...before i chop it into little pieces while laughing hysterically and whizzing the disc cutter around the my head as the S1 screams at me!!!
(haynes manual says to pull it....
to that...i've given full on STRENGTH OF THE BEAR on it and it won't budge!!)

Spray a bit of WD where the cap is. It won't break it when you pull it out..that's how it's supposed to be. You don't need to turn it. You only turn the top cap on the wing.
Give it a good whack from behind, or use a lever on the underside (but put a protective cover on your bodywork !)
go on son, don't be gay
Here's a pic with it out:
