I was having problems with my lights becoming very dim in the house then coming back on very quickly, along with some other problems. I called the local electric company and he checked the feed? coming in my house and said it was fine. He then opened and looked at my circuit breakers. He said they were very old and rusty and if it was his house he would replace all of them. He showed me how easy it was and just pulled one out, no screws holding it or anything. He said it was a job I could safely and easily do myself. He made it look very easy. Yesterday I went outside, which is where my breaker box is and was going to remove one and take it to the store and get a couple and replace them. They just snap in on one side, the inner side and when pulled out they do not have electricity flowing through them,,,he said Is there a web site that shows how to do this? He pulled it out very easy, I can't seem to do this. Maybe I'm not strong enough, could I use something to pry this out? Thanks
