I used a wood dowel to lightly hammer the teeth back in
I also used a toothpick(s) to fill in the hole, if, the hole was to big/worn out!!
Also, if you have enough wire play, you can redo the socket in a different orientation!

I love this tool

The Tool (resized).JPG

The "tool" is a " OR-55 "
If you google the OR-55 you will find it.
Usually around the $3 - $5 range!
Is made with very soft rubber on the ends, grabs the
bulb(s) real nice.
The best removal tool I have ever used!!!!

Ryan, you will not be disappointed
I have , in my time, changed hundreds of bulbs in various pieces of
equipment, mostly two-way radio battery chargers and other related equipment.
I have used various tools.
This tool, for the lamps used in our bingo's, is GREAT!!!
When you get it, if you don't mind, let me and the "others" know
what you think of it.

Frank, I think you will find, the "home made" tool, is not soft enough
to "grab" the bulb securely; especially the ones in the" hammered in " sockets!

Do you have a picture of the " 23-6767" tool?
I can't seem to find it on line.
