Backup/reverse light socket - how to disconnect it?

[Edgingage]

Hi folks:

 

Probably an "s" question; I always have many of those... jjj.  Anyways, I'm planning to replace the backup/reverse light bulbs in my 2011 Edge SEL.  All the bulb sockets in the taillight housing are REALLY easy to disconnect EXCEPT the backup/reverse light socket (at least for me).  I've read the book, search the net and found several YTVs all about mostly the brake lights, and some about the reverse lights but on the 2007-10 Edge, which is quite different than the 2011-14 Edge (a lot easier, plenty of space in the 07-10 Edge).  My main difficulty is how to get a grip of the socket (there's no really space to grab it with my fingers) and I'm afraid that using pliers my break the socket as I don't know either if the reverse light socket is also a counterclockwise turn (as the other sockets in the taillight housing) or just a straight pull socket.

 

I would appreciate any hints and/or suggestions, or directions to some videos showing how.

 

Thanks in advance.

Thank YOU Southside!!!  I was just thinking about that tool but, again, wasn't sure if it was a twist or a pull.

 

That vid is exactly what I was looking for!  Million thanks for your quick and great help!
