Quoted from PBEarwood:You could use a wrench, or socket. It doesn't take much to get them loose.
Okay thanks, I'll give it a whirl!
Quoted from jeffc:If the metal post starts turning inside the plastic post, you will need a second tool to grab the metal post. Unless you are ok with removing the whole post assembly.
A thin crescent wrench (spanner) works. Sounds like you were referring to this tool (which is available at pinballresource for $4). Needle nose pliers might also work if it is not on too tight.

Yah, thats what I saw!
Definitely looks like a useful tool, I was just hoping to switch out some bulbs this weekend and hate waiting around for shipping. I'll have to see what kind of thin wrenches I can find locally.
Thanks for the tips, good news is I got the plastics off, but my goal is to change the lightbulb but I can’t figure out how to remove the bulb. It doesn’t seem to want to unscrew from the top of the play field, maybe it’s just stubborn but I feel like I’ll break the bulb if I try turning to hard.
Under the play field puzzles me because it looks like even if I unscrew the one screw that attaches the socket, the metal wire is still stapled so it doesn’t look like it would move very much?
What’s the actual procedure to remove these bulbs, is it from topside or from underneath the Pf?

Oh! Pushing down was the secret, thanks!
Yep, rubbers are on my list shipping stinks from the US so I haven’t ordered those yet.
Quoted from Mitch:Where are you located?
I’m in Canada too, suppose I should update my profile location.
Quoted from luch:where exactly ? you might be able to have stuff shipped from Player one
Outside of Kingston, ON.
I’ve ordered a few things from player one before, I’ll have to see if I can figure out what sizes of rubber I need because I don’t think they sell the kits.
Quoted from luch:i think this is what you need https://www.titanpinball.com/kits/index.php/view/id/151 , it gives you what sizes your game has and how many ,
Wow thanks!
