One of the rear brake lights in my wife's '02 Odyssey isn't working.
The owners manual seems to be quite clear on how to remove the tail
light assembly and replace the bulb. (Use a flat screwdriver to open
the covers, remove the screws, and slide the assembly back from the
body).

The covers lift easily, the screws come out, and the tail light
assembly moves freely in most directions - except back. The manual is
not clear on the front mount point. It looks like it is a stud
possibly into a rubber grommet. I DON'T want to break anything doing
this, so I've been cautious in applying force. Does anyone have any
ideas on this?

Thanks,

PlainBill

Dumb multi-poster. Crossposting is beyond your intellectual capabilities?

See my reply to this identical message independently posted to
rec.autos.makers.honda.

I will not repeat myself here.

Not necessary. I found instructions elsewhere.
