recessed halogen bulb replacement"HELP"

[asheville]

2006 signature, I have 15 recessed halogen bulbs to change, I've worked on it for 30 mins, I have cramps in my hands , and I have replaced 1 bulb! There has to be a easier way to unscrew the glass lt fixture prior to replacing bulb, any suggestion other than calling superman? I wish the engineer that designed these lights had to change them! Thanks

Mine are a little different as they have a white plastic outer trim ring & you just have to aline notches & turn to lock or unlock. I think it might help you if you take a plastic knife & run it around between the ceiling material & the glass as the glass tends to stick to the ceiling (I think because of the heat). Also wear a rubber glove to give you more grip to turn.

I have started a program to replace with LED bulbs to save power & reduce heat. So far so good. My coach has 55 of those little suckers.

Steve, thanks so much, those rubber gloves turned me in to superman, well, almost. Out of 15 , 4 actually came on while I was changing them out, 3 will have to wait til morning energy builds up after breakfast. Thanks again
