Question redrilling track bar question

i just bought an adj trackbar from RE for my 4.5 inch lift.. i have to redrill the bracket hole to 5/8ths inch. the tierod is in the way of my drill.. if i drill at an angle the hole will be crooked.. how do i get around the tierod to actualy drill the hole straight.. i tryed jacking up the car but i didnt disco the sway bar and go high up but i probably should have tried that.. i thought i could come here and maybe get an answer.. any suggestions? anyone whos done this before?
