Headlight bucket help please

Just got my 1940 120 out of the paint shop & one of the headlights doesn't work now. Checked the wiring under the fender & it seems ok - suspect the problem is with the connection to the sealed beam. Here's my problem - I can't get the bucket open to check it. Have removed the screw at the bottom - my theory is that the ring should just swing up, but I'm not sure. Can't get it to budge, may be stuck with paint? Tried prying gently at the bottom, no luck. Is my theory correct & I just need to pry a little harder?? Don't want to wreck the new paint job. Thanks for any advice. Iain
