Brake Light Bulb Replacement

Has anyone managed to change the rear near side brake light bulb? After removing the CD player moving, the sound system speaker gadget and getting in the boot, stand on my head and try and get my hand in 3 different positions at once I failed to get the bulb holder out (sad I Know) Any ideas?

Usually isn't too hard to get in there and replace. I'd say go with the previous member's suggestion and remove the tail light assembly from the car. Should only require a 10mm socket and rachet.
