Quoted from Crashnburn:This is my first tear down and clean on my RFM so I have some questions.
2. In order to remove the bumpers, It looks like I have to cut the bulb socket. Can someone run me through the best way to remove and replace the socket. (found vid's guide)
I don't know if this is best parse but this is what I did and it was pretty easy:
Cut the existing leads as close to the hole as possible. Remove the existing parts, clean the playfield, install the new sockets, bend the new lead such that it lines up with the old one, solder it, and then cut the excess. I think this is easier than trying to fully remove the old sockets leads as you don't have to mess with the staples.
