2014 mk2 fabia

I've tried for an hour to get my drivers side indicator repeater out it won't budge, there a small arrow on the lens that shows the direction to push it (forward) to then release it, it just doesn't come out, 😤

Looks like I'll have to remove the wheel arch liner to get to the back of it

When I replaced both bulbs on my neighbour's 2005 Kia last year the first side was a lot more awkward than the other for no good reason, I used an old kitchen spatula to lift the holder away from the wing as I pushed on the light lens at the same time to get the locating tang to bend enough  to spring one end of the unit out.  Got both out but I had to re-glue the lens cover to the first side as I pushed one end of the lens off the base so put mind over muscle.

 

I always clean around the area to break any crud/muck seal that might have built up and give a little spray of GT85 as a lubricant for sliding.
