One of the headlight bulbs on the wife's 07 Caliber is burned out and needs replacing. How much of a chore is replacing the bulb? I have heard that you must take the car to the dealer to get the bulbs replaced, since there is so much stuff to remove. Is this true?

Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
Hoist vehicle.
Working in the appropriate wheel well, loosen up the front of the splash shield, but don't fully remove it.

Looking up through the front wheel well, locate the bulb (1) in which needs replacing. The headlamp bulb is the inboard bulb and the park/turn signal bulb (http://www.alldatapro.com/alldata/PRO~V7728843~C42660~R0~OD~N/0/121547197/121547198/121547199/121547204/34853741/34867926/34872181) is the outboard bulb.
Disconnect the bulb electrical connector (2 or 3). NOTE: EXPORT ONLY - If removing/replacing the headlamp bulb on export vehicles there is a rubber cover over the rear of the lamp housing that must be removed to access the bulb. Then a spring clip must be removed and the bulb pulled straight rearward.
Grasp the bulb (1), twist 1/4 turn counterclockwise and pull straight out of front lamp unit.
