<VV> '61 Headlight bucket & Trunk Latch

[Bill Hubbell]

You need to remove a nut on the backside of the headlight bucket - 
accessible by way of the wheel well.  You have to remove the baffle that 
covers the horn first.

I am trying to remove the left headlight bucket on a '61 Lakewood.  I 
removed the four sheet metal screws on the rim ends, the grounding screw and 
one in the geometric center and it's still tight.  There are two 1/2 " 
(socket) bolts under the top of the outer light bulb which I haven't 
loosened yet.  What are they for?  I can't imagine why there are two so 
close together.  Anyway, it won't loosen.
Further question: Is removing the headlight bucket the way to release a 
balky or stuck trunk latch?  If not, what is?
