    You don not have to remove the headlight but I believe I had them up. I went in on the pass side through the battery access IIRC. It takes patience, I also needed and extra set of hands to hold the front lid up and manipulate it so I could get the new strut attached.

    This was our latest discussion on the subject (and there's more if you search):

    My TR does have the 4-bolt access cover on the LH side (under the carpet) that Anthony noted, but IME (I recently went back in that way to replace the cotter pins with reusable retaining pins), it's about the same hassle as removing the front turn signal lamp housing (which is also 4 fasteners total).
