Need headlight help!

I'm replacing headlight bulbs. I've taken the screw out on the top left(there was only one on my assembly, and I've taken out the 3 blolts/ torex screws. The manual says to pull the assembly away from the fender, but it sure feals like something else may be holding it. It's slightly loose, but I really don't want to force it and crack something. Is there more to it, or some tricky way of pulling it off??

Thanks coobie! I yanked it out just before you responded. I've got the "eyebrow" piece right above it for bug deflector, and didn't want to wreck that. The shop that sold me the 75 watt bulb gave me the wrong one anyway. Their computer said there was one bulb for brights, and another for dims, but it doesn't look like that to me. I can't believe how tight they have that assembly jammed in there. There are those 2 pegs on the outside, and when they came out, I was sure I was going to be paying for a new assembly!$$$$$$ flashed before my eyes! Even when the pegs yanked out, I found it really tricky to get the asssembly out far enough to get at the bulbs. (I didn't want to scratch that plastic on the bumper underneath it.) All that to change a little bulb!&*%$#!! Hey man- good thing I wasn't working on the tranny!!
