Hi Rick, I expect you will have to take the original fixture down and disconnect it from the wiring and see if you can remove what is left from the original socket. Can you get a replacement socket which can be installed in the original fixture will be the issue.
You may have to replace the entire fixture. It may be though that this is a good thing if corrosion has been an ongoing feature of that fixture. IT can cause overheating and be a potential fire hazard.

On one occasion, I broke the bulb off in the socket but was able to retrieve the broken part after turning the power off. However, when I recently removed a bulb the threaded sleeve broke off and remained attached to the bulb. So I need to replace the sleeve so there will be something to screw the new bulb into. Any tips of this repair. Rick Boggess [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
