Is there some trick to replacing burnt out GI bulbs on Segas? I'm used to just being able to take out the one screw under the playfield to take out the socket and replace the bulb on B/W games. But it seems on my Space Jam that I need to almost completely strip down the playfield just to get to most of the GI bulbs as there doesn't appear to be any access from underneath the playfield. Am i missing something? There has got to be an easier way...otherwise, with my sausage fingers, I really am going to have to take everything apart to do a LED conversion for the GI.

was thinking about trying to take out the staple and using a staple gun to put them back in but figured I'd probably screw up the soldering plus not sure how easy it would be to get in there with a staple gun.

What a horrible design, I'm thinking every sega pin on route most have had most of the GI burned out as no way operators were getting in there to change them out with that much work.
