Now, it may have been shear dumb luck that this worked, but I though I'd share anyways. Also, after getting the headlight loosened a bit, I found it helped to put the bolt that was taken out in Step 1 back in.

(oh, and the part about not worring about it falling refers to the nut you can't really reach to hold onto, not the bolt!)
