HELP - Upper A-arm install 05+ Tacoma

Installing an All-Pro upper a-arm and coil over tonight. We've got the stock ball joint disconnected and the stock coil over out. The problem is getting the bolt out that holds the a-arm in place. The sheet metal that makes up the inner wheel well body is directly in line with the removal of this foot long bolt. Anyone have an idea how to get this bolt out? I hate to bend the sheet metal, but don't see any other way. Thanks

bfh = big fat hammer.

good luck

EDIT:
It's a very small indentation to clear the washer so it shouldn't be a deal breaker.
