Default I have a question about taillight replacement on 1991 740 wagon

I have a 1991 740 wagon and need to replace the right rear turn signal bulb
I pulled up the floor panel and used a 10mm nutdriver on the nut but the nut is rounded so how do I get the nut off I cant get a vise-grip or anything in the small deep space. does anyone know of a good work around? I don't have anything but some basic tools

nut? on my 740 wagon, there's a plastic panel behind the lights that pops off, and you can turn and remove the individual bulb holders with your fingers.

you'd only need to remove those nuts to change the whole light fixture (something I like to do about once every 10 years when they get dull and cruddy looking)



(I split this message into its own thread, since it clearly has nothing to do with swiftjustice's custom V8 powered wagon)
