Hi Rob,

Bulb replacements can indeed be a real pain, especially when it
involves skinned knuckles and elusive bulbs. It’s always the small,
seemingly simple tasks that end up being the most frustrating.

One trick that might help is using a bit of double-sided tape on the
end of a stick or a long screwdriver to fish out those runaway bulbs.
It could save you from a few more skinned knuckles and a lot of
frustration.

Hang in there, fellow Alfisti! These little challenges make us
appreciate our Alfas even more.
