Default Replacing Brake Light help!

hey guys, first time posting.

I'm trying to replace the tail lights on my girls 95 chevy blazer, unfortuntaly it seems impossible to get a screw between the tail gate pump and the screw. Am i overlooking something or is there a special way to get easy access to the screws?

Thanks

pull out the weatherstripping. that worked for me on my 97. Also, can get a 1/4" ratchet with screwdriver bit in there.

As you can see the weather srtip is not really the problem, the mini hydrolic pump is right in the way to get to that screw

Those shocks are just a ball and socket type connection. Pop it off at either the top or the bottom. Just pry out with a screwdriver and it should pop off. When you're done, just pop it back on.
