I have removed the leads from the two contacts, now how do I get the bulb out? Looks like it's encased with some type of potting. Do I boil it or something?

Just tried using some Isopryphyl alcohol and also some acetone, neither had any effect on the potting. Bulb won't budge.
Put it on a bench vice (right term?) upside down.
Use a 5mm stick (alu, brass, steel, or 5 mm drill) with an hammer (carefully).
Mine came out easy.

thanks, looks like I already screwed up though since I removed both wires from the metal contact posts.
Has anyone done this with a Seoul or an XRE? I was thinking it might also be kind of cool to have a red drop-in for my E1E.
