Td5 speedo bulb change?

How do you change the bulb in a td5 speedo without some special tool. My friend is struggling as he says it is up a long tube in the back and he cannot get it out to change the bulb which has blown. Bit tricky at night to see the speedo without said bulb working!!

Yeah it is an absolute pain...

Two ways so far - long needle nosed pliers or a stiff plastic tube

I believe you might be able to turn the bulbs with a flat head screwdriver as well but have never managed it that way.

You can use tweezers as well.
