cigarette lighter

Bought sonnies guage package. Leaned the dash in to remove cluster, looking at the filth behind, the snowball started rolling. Took the dash completly out cutting the ground wire on the lighter cause I couldnt figure out how to get it out. Its pretty rusty. How do you remove it?

Power disconnected. Take a needle nose plier and stick it in the lighter hole, squeeze it open and reach around the the backside of it and screw if the casing. But only if you are replacing it cause it may tear it up inside.

yup, sounds right. Pulled mine out to add a bluetooth controller and it won't be going back in.
