The trim pops off from the conditioned space. It really just pops off. Sounds like you'll need a ladder for 20 minutes or so. The rest is done from the attic.

P.S. Air sealing non AT IC rated cans sucks. Good luck if you go that route. I have absolutely no faith in the effectiveness or longevity of the given techniques. But it probably can be done. It just won't last for too long. If you value your time at more than minimum wage and can do the wiring yourself it's not cost effective to build those stupid boxes.
