1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse Headlight Assy Repair

The ball joint on the end of the lever that moves the driver side = headlight assy up and down popped loose (with 'help' from myself). = Looks like it's not broken and will likely pop back in. Problem is I = can't figure out how to get enough room to get a tool or hand down in = that small space. =20

I'm trying to get away without having to remove the power steering = reservoir, AC tubing, etc. and avoid doing more damage. I tried = removing everything on the headlight assy that was screwed down, but = still can't get to it. =20

Anyone ever done this before and know the E-Z way?

My bro acturally got mine working! Not sure how he did it, so I will ask him and get back to you!

Have a 1990 Eagle Talon, red with a sunroof. Not AWD!

Been driving her since I bought her brand new!

Give me a few days to drag the answer out of my brother who is in the autobody business!

Cheers!

Thanks, Philo. I was able to bend a metal bar and get in there. Pushed = it a couple of times and it popped right back on. Should have posted = this sooner.

New paint job is next on the list! Original lasted until 2008. Earl = Sheib job lasted less than 2 years. Still under Sheib's warranty, I = drove it up to Sheib's on July 17, 2010 -- one day after they closed = all their shops.
