I have some drum taillight assemblies and am wondering how to remove the bakalite fixture on the back of the assembly.

I know for one that you press the little button down that is on the upper outside top of the Taillight socket assembly. However there is a "mushroom" shaped pin on the inside that is connected to a fixture that is riveted to the main body of the bracket.

I am sure that one does not need to remove the rivet just to remove the bakalite piece so is it that the "mushroom" pin just needs to be pulled out to replace the bakalite piece?

Thanks.
