Hi All,
One of my AA maglites has had one of the batteries leak (left in a drawer for too long) and as a result one of the batteries is stuck in there and won't come out with 'gentle' persuasion. Anyone any good links or info on how to remove the plastic cap assembly at the top end, where the bulb goes, to allow me to poke the battery out and clean and lube the area? I know this is the switch assembly and it's not just a 'howk' out. I found this page which would make the plain english campaign weep and also seems to require a special tool but anyone done this before with success??
Cheers,
Alan
