Hi, my first post here.
We have a single socket that doesn't work. I tried to pull it out to take a look and it only comes out around 5-6mm. The cables behind seem to be far too short, so short I'm struggling to see how it was wired up to begin with.
From the little I can see behind it, it's old wiring of black, red and an earth. Cables seem to be attached to back of switch.
How can I get the socket out of the wall to get a better look and/or replace it please? Is there an electricians trick to get around this problem?
Any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance.
