Need Help Removing Tail Light

Can anyone tell me how to remove the passenger side tail light on my '04 F150? Will I have to remove my plastic bed liner for access to remove the tail light? Does anyone know if removing the tail light will give me access to help remove the butyl pad on the inside of the bed skin. I started removing the bottom of the butyl pad from underneath but it might be easier to remove the top of the pad if the tail light is out. Does anyone know if this will help?
Thanks for any advice or knowledge you can provide.

Why are you wasting your time and removing it? It is under recall, so a dealership will do it for free.

bsocko,
Read my post "Help - Butyl Pad Recall Is Over". It is a newer post. It explains why I have to do it myself.

there should be 2 bolts on the inside of where the tailgate closes. take those out and then i believe the light will come out.

I just replaced my turn signal bulb for the third time in the last year. I don't know what's up with that. You can have the tail light out in about 30 seconds. If you have one of those multi screw drivers, with the tip removed it's the right size to remove 2 hex head screws, under the tail gate latch pin. Pull strait back on the lense while wiggling up and down a little.
