Headlight bulb replacement
Trying to change headlight bulb on PCX 125. Sure, I found the bulb and removed the rubber cover, but can't get the bulb base to rotate. I must be getting weak. Wish there was a tool. Not much room to use tools either. --Oldtimer79

They are tough to get out [you knew that] : ) If you have some sturdy rubber gloves or a piece of an old rubber tube.
Anything that will give you traction. That's how I was able to finally get mine loose.

Success! -- I designed and manufactured a tool. Took a 12-inch piece of stout wire (not sure what diameter). Bent it in half and then bent fingers (about 3/8-inch long) at the opposite end at right angles. Inserted the fingers into the back of the bulb base and it easily turned the base and allowed me to change both bulbs. ---Oldtimer79
