How do you remove Camaro taillights?

My taillights are cracked, i forgot about it until I took the blackouts off the other day. I am going for a repaint soon, so I would rather do this first. What is the easiest way if anyone knows? THanks.

Sorry about the large pic too...I'm working on it...

You'll need to remove the trim covering the hatch latch. You'll hen see a bunch of good sized plastic wing nuts. These are what hold in the tail lights. You will most likely need to take the spare tire cover off & pull the drivers compartment trim away as well to reach the outermost nuts (unless you've got real small hands). Offhand I forget if the plate holder has to come off or not but, it probably wouldn't hurt to get it out of the way.
