I had the same problem with mine during my owner-assisted annual last year.

You practically have to dislocate your wrist in order to maneuver the
screws/latches, etc. to remove it. I could not do it.

I finally got my A&P to do it. He, of course, smirked, reached in,
(blind, of course -- once your arm is in the access hole, you can't see
the ELT) and had the thing removed in seconds.

Putting it back in was even harder...

Ours is an easy to get out of the bracket, but the bracket is located
half-way down the tail. One of my mechanics prefers that I change it as
last time she did the plane tilted back on the tail and she was
head-first... Well, you get the picture.
