GS1100GK Fairing Question

[Anonymous]

Well, it's (still) winter maintenance time. Things have gone well so far with the carb and electrical issues, but I've hit a very much unexpected snag. I'm trying to change the headlight bulb, and I can't figure out for the life of me how to get access to the light's innards. I pulled and pushed on things, and heard some disconcerting crunching noises, which have me really worried that I busted something up - and now I can't get the L/R alignment screw back in. So before I screw up anything else up, can someone tell me how to get at that bulb (I can't find it in the Clymer book)?

Thanks gang.

According to the owners manual

To remove headlight bulb
1 loosen vertical line adjuster screw and remove knob.
2 loosen headlight housing fitting nuts and take off headlight assembly
3 remove headlight from wiring socket
4 roll up rubber cap
5 push the bulb setter in twisting to the left and remove bulb setter
6 remove bulb

I have no scanner or I would send pictures.
