There is a housing on the backside of the dash thats screws onto the lighter housing and holds it in. Just unscrew the rear housing and it’s out

Yep what he said.

Assuming you have a stock style lighter. Remove the lighter element, reach behind the dash and unscrew part #2 from part #1. You may have to put a finger or thumb into part #1 to prevent it from turning at first.

Previous failed to mention that part 1 may be weld rusted to part 2 and that part 1 is impossible to get a good grip on. .

I would spray the back of it with a little penetrating oil. It makes them unscrew a lot easier.

In all seriousness, if you cant separate the #2 from #1, just a few seconds of a angle grinder with a thin cut-off wheel on the mid section will do the trick.

so it's twist and pull back, otherwise it just spins

Congrats on the extraction! Fyi, you got you a '67 only lighter element there. The ridged edge is the dead giveaway. '68-'72 were smooth like this so it would match the headlight, wiper and radio knobs.
