So I got some of these 3D printed bases for my 55. How do you get the 40 base off to put the 55 base on? I can’t see how to get the threaded post out.

I make these for the 75'-84' pig owners. They allow you to convert FJ40 turn signal lights into FJ55 turn signal lights. I also added a little fender grommet to issolate the plastic base from the paint. If neuclearlemon doesn't have any and doesn't plan to make any let me know. If someone wants to send me a nice pair of OEM bases, I can recreate the part and a custom fit grommet. For whomeever does this, I would send them back their original parts and a free new set with grommets. I enjoy building these kind of parts and I am sure I could recoup the cost of my time / materials selling a few. Just throwing it out there, no pressure either way.Bummer

I can't remember... Thought there was a nut on the other side where your hand is?So I got some of these 3D printed bases for my 55. How do you get the 40 base off to put the 55 base on? I can’t see how to get the threaded post out. View attachment 2312482
The version you have is not the same as the original but i have a set similar to yours in the garage. Give me 15 minutes and I will go convert a set and post the pictures.there is a flat washer on the back side, I don't see a way to remove it. I bought my bases from @82FJ40EVV BTW and they seem like they will be great if I can get them onto the OEM turnsignal. @82FJ40EVV I'm assuming you have done this before? How does a guy swap in your base?
Ok, here you go. It took me more time to find the tools than to do the conversion. The right tool is the key. Only one problem, now I have to sell my FJ40 lights to someone with an FJ55 .there is a flat washer on the back side, I don't see a way to remove it.
