1969 Camaro Turn Signal Housing
Is there a trick to removing the socket assembly from the turn signal housing? Looks like a semi-permanent crimp assembly, do you just straighten the flange to get it out?

You might PM m22mike, he has restored lots of these (and does a fantastic job) and will know.

Park light tools
The following can be used on many GM parking lights that use the same lead assy.
Tool With blue handle is made from a Channellock #748 plier. Tool with the black handle is a Craftsman needle nose (needto be short and stocky) The holding fixture I made from an aluminum union cut inhalf. Anything similar would work. One item not shown is a piece of round stock turned to fitthe un bent copper crimp. Clamped in a vise and used to dolly and straighten theflange with a small trim hammer.

Thanks for all that Mike. I took a set apart a couple days ago to get a pair of originals restored and they turned out very nice. We used the ball peen hammer and sockets to re-crimp the sockets. This thread should be made into a sticky.
Great info for sure.
