Need help replacing reflector

I know this is kinda reviving a dead thread, but I had to move a reflector from a busted body to a new one this week and came up with this nifty trick: I cut a pop can into strips about an inch wide, folded each strip in half, and placed a strip between each spring clip and the reflector. They reduced the resistance provided by the clips just enough that I could, with a bit of careful effort, push the reflector out without any banging or breaking.

Hope this helps anyone stumbling across this thread like I did.

I stumbled onto this chat while doing research on how to successfully swap some reflectors without breaking them. Drlynn's soda can trick is the best solution! Thank you for posting, I changed 2 reflectors on my first time without any problems!
