If you try to access from the back side, you'll run into nut plates and won't be able to take it off from the baggage compartment. If your concerned about expansion from bonding it in, think of air as a fluid in that it expands equally in all directions, thus equal pressure on all windows that have just been bonded in. So if you bond the aft bulkhead it will be under the exact same pressures. If I was going to bond it in, I would make the reinforcements around the perimeter minus the nut plates. Then make the bulkhead overlap in the same fashion, screw it on, hysol in this area then attach it with 3 bids of carbon on both sides. This would make it stronger than the panel itself and the material used to make the bulkhead is the exact same as the fuseloge and therefore should expand and contract equally. I don't think the aft bulkhead on a 747 is removable.
