Brake bulb

Not having much luck with the electrics lately. My brake bulb has blown. I was given a 5 W instead of a 4. I placed it in the bracket - seemed a little loose. I inserted it into the unit and the globe fell out. Now it's trapped in the brake lens cavity. Is unsrewing the rear assembly from the booth the best approach? Remember I'm tool challenged!!

Thanks for the advice gentlemen. I tried but no success. Finally used a blob of 'blutac' sticky plasticene stuff (not sure what you call it in the US- prob 'Blutac' too!!) and attached it to a pointy nose plier and gently pulled it out. Replaced the globe and it works a treat. Thank you anyway.
