So how does one go about asking Google to remove a front page search result about yourself that you do not wish to exist? Google are famed for having virtually no way of contacting them, does it require the individual to jump through hoops to do so? And no, not thinking of myself... but wondering just whether there are mechanisms available already to those who will now seek to exercise their right.

It will require a judge in the EU who will submit his findings to the legal representative of Google EU. If there will be enough of these cases infrastructure for the legal representative to handle the cases will be put in place; but I didn't see any requirements for Google to offer a procedure for taking down personal info.

  If this is a right you as a citizen have it will probably not require a judge at all. As this is legal stuff an email probably won't do but if you send them a letter Google probably has to comply without a judge ordering them to.

    The wording is very cautious though (under certain provisions, in certain circumstances, etc.) implying that it very much still is at the court's discretion.
