Had to do that on a 2016 RAV4 a few months back.
Blood thinners are no help.
I had no such issues with sealed beams, just a screwdriver to remove the chrome ring, remove assembly, install sealed beam, adjust headlight against the garage door. Fini!
I notice on YT videos most of the guys wear gloves of some sort all the time. I thought they were pussies but I'm starting to get it... ha!
I'm with you bud I liked the change from the front with a screw driver mode way better
