It looks like you can unscrew a plastic insert that holds the bulb assembly. There is no easy way to do this with any tool I know of. Has anyone ever had to take this part of the fixture apart?

It may be that somebody tried to caulk it in place at some pint in the past and if so, it may be stuck pretty good. You will have top try to lever it up an off. Replacement lenses are readily available if you break the one you have. It is an off-the-shelf Perko part.

There does look like there may be treads on it but it wont budge i was trying to not force it thinking there has to be a better way.
