Replacing 1176 bulbs-they seem stuck

im attempting to replace my 1176 bulbs. this is my first time trying this. they seem to be a bit stuck. i moved the copper arms in the back of the meter away to expose the bulbs and am carefully trying to pry them out (with a knife) but it seems like they're pretty stuck. anyone have any advice on this? ii haven't applied a lot of force yet but that would be the next move it seems. am not a tech expert and want to make sure i don't mess up the unit. any advice is appreciated. thanks. josh

Hmmmm...try something thin like an Exakto knife blade under the outer flange of the bulb.
