There's instructions on the owners manual.

Check page 237 of the owners manual:

You don't need the small tool to remove the cover.

It's easier to remove if you move it to the left and right a little bit while pulling. The connection is very tight between the body and the bolts on the lamp. You have to apply some force...

You can apply a small amount of grease on the bolts - it will be easier to remove next time

Thanks ! All done , easy when you know how
