I need to remove a headlamp assembly because a low beam bulb is burned out. I don't have a toolkit, so I used a 5mm socket to rotate the locking mechanism to remove the assembly. Problem is that it won't release. When I rotate the lock, it makes a "pop", but there is tension on the mechanism so I have to keep pressure on it to keep it in the 180 degree position. However, no matter where I position it, the assembly won't budge. Any suggestions?
