Sedan Tail Lamp Housing Replacement

First time poster here, I searched the entire forum many times and couldn't find any info related to the sedan. Google was even worse on helping me...

I took down the fabric cover, unbolted the retaining bolts on the back of the lamp housing. From there, I had went under the car to unbolt the 2 bolts holding a clip and also unscrewed the retaining screw holding the tail lamp in place. I try to pull and wedge the housing out and it is still stuck. I have unbolted and unscrewed just about everything related to the tail lamp and I am still stumped.

Is there a trick to the retaining clip under the tail lamp housing? Is there something I am overlooking? Can someone help me out?

Many thanks for the answers. I had a bad feeling that I would have to remove the bumper...
