- Using your exacto knife or screw driver, pry up the metal disk on the bottom of the bulb.

- Use needle nosed pliers to pull it off.

Move outside! there will be shattered glass!

- take off the black glass that the metal disk was attached to. use pliers to chip/break it.
-Holding the bulb use the screwdriver to break the glass, and use the tweezers to pull it out.

- Use the screwdriver as a chisel once again and break the glass that holds the filament in place inside the bulb.

- Use your tweezers to break up pieces too big to fall out of the hole but simply squeezing them.
