Looking at pics of removed items, you may need to pull the tail lights to get it out. Why you taking it out?
taking it off is easy and should take about 5-10 min start to finish...

1 take off rear interior black plastic panel (*optional*, but easier to see the "pegs" in step 5)
2 remove tails (3 10mm nuts - use deep socket)
3 remove reg plate
4 there are either 2 or 4 bolts on either side of the panel (outside the car, behind the tails)...2 at the top I am sure of, if there are some at the bottom I can't remember... - they are 10mm
5 pull it strait out. There are a few "peg clips" holding it in place.

at that point the best thing to do is change the plate bulbs (from the inside of the panel) usually the bolts that hold the plate light covers (outside) get rusted and suck to get out.

BTW, I have an extra silver rear panel for sale if anyone wants it...
