You have two options for this step:
1. Use heat to crack the black glass. You must immediately cool it after, as to not crack the clear glass.
-OR-
2. Use the pliers or other tools to smash the black glass (I've found a box opener to be effective).
3.Larger lightbulbs have secondary layers of glass in them which must also be broken.
*Both of these risk cracking the bulb and injuring yourself so please be careful!
