Default C-Rok steering box plate install ?

I'm in the middle of putting this on my XJ.

The rear two sleeves are in but the front bolt hole is a lot harder to access to widen out. I can get my arm and a dremel in there but it is going very slowly and I think if I pull my header panel it will give me access from the front side to that bolt hole.

My experience here is limited. I have only had the header panel off once, years ago. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

That's what I was trying to do. I couldn't get to the bolt hole to widen it out enough for the sleeve to go in.

Pulling the header panel gave me all the access I needed. The sleeve is in now and the gearbox is getting bolted on shortly.
