Caution If excessive force is exerted on sockets without illumination, the retaining sleeve may be damaged. Only illuminated sockets (cigarette lighter) can be removed with the puller T 40148. The puller does not manage to release the locking lugs of sockets without illuminated retaining sleeve. Usually sockets without illumination cannot be removed without being damaged.
