You don't have to take them out just un-fold them 'a bit' to get the covers off and your hand in ... it helps to have little hands tho ...

Yup an absolute pain, from the scratches on the back on my hand, some time ago I had to change the off side stop tail bulb and being the right handed doesn't help as yes it wasn't a quick bulb change.
Being a glutton for punishment, last year I replaced the two reversing bulbs for LEDs didn't have much trouble this time, still 15 minutes a side perhaps it was because I know what is what now and those bulb holders are easer to get to.
Luckily the rest of the rear bulbs are the factory ones.

my hands are soar this morning oh and im not an office worker lol

I had an intermittent fault with the brake lights a couple of year ago and was so ****ed off with having to take everything out I binned the seats and rear trim. Just bare metal back there now. Much easier to work on, also easier to see any rust.
