Headlight Loose - Screw & Nut thing replacement - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My passenger side headlight is a bit loose, mainly on the top. The headlight can wiggles on the adjustment screw slot and then the nut thingy itself wiggles in the frame. Two wiggles equals a bit of play. I got some replacements and the best that I can tell the screw isn't going to help with the can wiggling.

As for the current nut installed, it is metal and the replacement is plastic. How do I go about getting the old one out?

What suggestions might you guys have on getting the headlight can tighter on the adjustment screw's slot?
