I am having trouble fitting my sealed beam unit and chrome rim back into the headlamp shell. I have removed the paint from the part of the shell that the chrome rim fits onto and it just seems to be such a tight fit. The headlamp shell is in good condition and is not distorted. Does anyone have any ideas or tricks of how to achieve an easy fit?

Bear in mind...
Bear in mind that the rim clips in at the bottom and THEN clips at the top, if you have the head lamp out you can give it a bit more 'teddy' and note how the top lock works-or gets in the way!

A gentle thump with the palm of the hand on the face of the s/b near the top did the trick in my experincence, so I don't know what is causing your difficulty. Are you refitting the same old parts, or is anything new?
It might be worth trying to fit the bare rim, without the s/b. At least then you might have more of a clue as to the root cause.
