Any helpful hints with removing headlight? I removed the forward set screw and sprayed the beauty ring with W-D. I can not get it to rotate (CC). What is the rear set screw for?

The rear set screw holds the lens back plate in place.
Latex gloves, a soft rubber mallet.
Tap gently against the ring in a counter clockwise direction while pushing with your fingers.
When the beauty ring comes off there will be a set ring behind it with three small holes.
Straight punch that fits the hole, tap against the side of the punch until you get it loose then spin it out with the punch.

Finally got it to release. The inner ring was actually easier then the beauty ring. I ended up using duct tape as someone on here suggested when latex wouldn't do it. In any case, I have the BD upgrade plastic connector w/ the little coil ground which appeared to be in perfect condition so I coated it with DI grease. Would it be advisable to replace with the ceramic connector anyhow? BTW; if it makes a difference I have the PDM retro kit.
Thanks for the help!
