I’m just unclear where I’m going to find a “glaziers knife” that’s flexible enough to get down and in there to cut out the sealant. I guess I’ll try a few things.

Put an edge on a feeler gauge.

I love them. I’ve used feeler gauges for anything from knives, shims through to reed valves in a compressor and vacuum pump. Cheap, readily available and flexible. Always keep a disposable set in the tool kit.

Well now I’m not setting points or spark plugs, I have little need for them.

Tomorrow attempt rear high mount light replacement (ouch I expect), idler pulley and tensioner pulley.

IIRC, the video I've seen regarding the removal, recommends literally smashing the old light to get out.

Correct, well worth the effort tp put it through the valve body.

20L of lifeguard 6 ordered.
New duraprene gasket and filter.
Two valve body separator plates so I have the one I need once I have it apart without order delay.
Gen2 zip kit, mechatronic seal and the other internal foam seals.

Hoping it is worth it. Will do that next month.

Mine had a 12mm shattered hole in it ..previous owner was quoted many hundreds to replace it..so he took the cost off the purchase price. I die grinded the hole and fitted a closed rubber grommet into the now rounded hole.

It looks factory..like some sort of rear sensor or camera unit😎

Yes..I am cheap😉

Wouldn't get away with that here.

First thing they check on a roadworthy is the vehicles lights,the slightest crack and its knocked back.

Unless of course you know the inspector.
