It's not hard at all. It also helps if you take out both inner and outer marker lights. Only 3 nuts holding the headlight bucket frame in. Are you sure you're going about it the right way?

I agree with Pro50 I just did all six about 2 weeks ago and it took like 15 minutes. I'm 6'2 and have big hands andI didn't have a problem with it at all lol.
