Next use something sharp and narrow to pierce through the insulation layer and then use the needle nose pliers to fish the job in removing the insulation layer (Black Inner Rim Surrounding The EFC)

Step 3: Breaking the Filament and Glass Mount

Use your flat head to break the filament by pressing firmly against it don't use to much force or it will break the entire bulb 

Step 4 : Removing the Broken Filament
