I used a screwdriver.
If you look at the bulb holder there is a small lip where you can place the end of a screwdriver and push it round

Have you got any kids that you could show what needs to be turned.

Replacing and locking into position is a lot easier than unscrewing. Bets way is the lean in over the wing rather than tackle it from leaning over the front and use you other hand to push down on the rad pipe that partially obstructs access. They are resiliant so don't be afraid to push down on it.

Use the driver again,just take your time and ime sure you will do it.

Initially it seems impossible but you know it can be done as others have done it so just keep trying and eventually it moves, getting back in as said is much easier. I removed the cable ties to give more hand room and then replaced at the end.
