I've been handed a nice mag-lite with LED bulb and the batteries leaked and are now stuck in place. Perhaps this has come up before here but how can they be removed? So far I tried soaking them in PFM then pulling on them with a screw and pliers. No luck, no movement at all. Before I step it up a notch what do you say about this? The bulb end is easily removed and down in there is a thin snap ring that could be a challenge to remove. If that comes out perhaps the batteries can be driven out instead of pulled? It's a very nice flashlight and worth working on. phil k.
