2007 Cayenne S - headlight damage, removal tool not working

[lewy]

First post here, I'm Lewy from Wolverhampton in the UK. Hi!

I'm having some problems removing my faulty unit. The screw / bolt which retains the unit just turns a full 270 degrees without doing anything whereas the other side only turns 90 degrees and releases the unit no issues.

I've tried (carefully) turning the screw at small intervalls and attempting to prize out the unit but something's gotta hold of it and it will not budge.

Looks like I need to get at it from underneath? Where would you guys start? Is it accessible from removing the bumper?

Ant help or tips would be very well received. Thanks in advance.

Which model is your car?

take out the front grill. You will have access from there.

I am talking about the part under the headlight. Its just klicked in. Squeeze it a little bit and you can take it out. Be careful.

You can also remove the air filter box and get behind the light from there. Not difficult to remove and makes a lot of space.
