My brand new lamp doesn't come with a harp base (saddle). To use my vintage shade (spider fitter), I bought a harp with a saddle and began disassembling my lamp for the installation. The socket top cover and inner socket were easily removed but the socket base is stuck. There's no set screw so I'm assuming I would just have to unscrew it, but the nut below keeps spinning.
Without removing the socket base, the space for the nut is too tight for my wrench. Any ideas on how to remove the socket base?
BTW, I also tried pulling upward...in case it isn't a screw on...
Thanks in advance!
