Once you remove the nuts, pull gently but firmly. That sounds kinky! Anyway, they will come off, just pull on 'em. Make sure you have all the nuts off.

From inside the trunk, you should just see the studs, where you took the nuts off. All you haft to do on the harness, is twist and unplug. Do you have a Haynes repair Manual? It might explained it clearer, and would prolly have pictures as well.

That came out of the tailight, you just need to remove it.........your new tailights will have the studs in them already.

That is a spot weld. Is the rear panel bent? If so, you may need to get a body shop to do some work for you.
