1999 Honda Accord Headlight Assembly

Anyone replaced the headlight assemblies on their
accord? It looks to be a royal pain in the rear.
I've got all the bolts loose on the RH side but there is some type
of little metal bracket thats causing me a hell of a problem trying to
get the *&%$ old light assembly out.
