Its easy with the bumper removed... but thats a proces in itself.
I use a flexible ratchet and attack from below after pulling off the brake ducts.
There really aren't any tricks... just unbolt the hinges, put the rod, and pull out the headlight assembly, then unbolt the motors and pull them out.

you can also do it from just the top, thats what I did.

I took the whole thing out from the top by just using a swivel gear wrench.
You have to pop off the rod to get the light out first then you can work on the motor.
