I put all new headlights in my 89 in about an hour, and I have pretty large hands. I took out a couple of bolts from underneath the car, was not hard at all. Chances are you are trying to use the wrong tools. I only used one wrench the whole time, just had to get them a little loose and they backed right off with just my fingers.
