Sorry about the word censors, guys.

Jerm, what Bill is trying to say is...there is a raised bump in one spot of the side of the metal base of nearly all loktal tubes. If you pull the top of the tube in the direction of this bump...the tube should release from the socket.

Sometimes it takes some wiggling...towards and away from the bump...but it should come out without a great deal of effort.
