Default 1969 Fiber optics help

I have had an issue with my left front turn signal not working lately and it turned out to be a bad socket. I purchased a new turn signal assembly from Paragon that came assembled with new light bulb, gasket, lens and the amber glass bead that connects to the fiber optic cable.
I have removed my old signal assembly and was able to push the amber glass bead (still attached to the fiber cable) out the back of the old socket.
Now I need to know how do I safely remove the fiber cable from the original amber glass bead and transfer it to the new unit without damaging anything?
I am hoping to get this taken care of soon so the car is ready for Kerbeck's Toy's for Tot's run on 11/4.

If I rember, it all just pops together. It is likely just stuck. Use the old amber thing and put the new one in the toolbox. George

Yep, the old one was just stuck and I was able to carefully remove it. I sprayed some lubricant on the new amber piece and the fiber optic socket just slipped right in place.
