2 questions :

1- did you cut/access from the wheel well side or engine bay side?
2- does the bolt run up a shaft to the nut or is open/exposed inside the frame rail?

@everyone does anyone have a picture of the open frame rails while performing this surgery?

thanks!

Tbh it's quite a while ago and I don't remember what it looked like inside anymore. I think it was just uncovered inside the rails. But you might be able to check by looking down the end of the rail, viewing the car from the front, after removing the crash bar.
I cut the hole from the engine bay side, was easy to do since the engine was out of the car.
