i appreciate the responses...and an update on it we finished the driver side after 2-3hrs...after an 1hr 30 mins of chiseling and thinking :thinking: my next door neighbor (who just barely moved here from vietnam 3-4 months ago) came and help us after watching...he brought out one of those things that you drill in the wood to make a round hole (its like a chisel but in the middle it has a sharp point...i saw it at the store also and had a feeling i should of bought that instead of the chisels ) and in about a minute he shamed us and gets a good space and loosens the nut h:

tomorrow imma hit up the passenger side looks much easier then driver side
