Sounds like a total PITA.
You might consider an RJC FMIC. Slips right into place without any cutting or modifications. Uses factory bolt holes to hang it. Requires two small holes to be drilled for the lower mounts. Installation time is less than an afternoon if you are anything like me & move slow. The hardest part is removing the original SLIC.
Good luck.
