Re: Headlight Loose - Screw & Nut thing replacement

Thank you for all of that MAC71Cheyenne! The tips on the nylon with heating it up a bit and the emory board - fabulous suggestions!

The Headlight Chrome ring is very tight/snug on the headlight to the can - no slop there at all.

For the slop that is in the adjusters screw head slot, I am thinking this is the likely issue. I think I should get a new one of these from GMC Paul's.

The only open question is - how to I get the metal nut that the aiming screw is going in... without damaging where the new nylon is going to pop into.
