Steering knuckle access?

[A TR7 16V]

Any suggestions for an easy way to access the steering knuckle, especially the bottom bolt by the rack?

I thought it would be easy with the engine side panel off. And while it was, getting the panel off, and worse, back on, was a bit like hard work to access one flippin bolt.

I doubt it makes any difference but I've had that awful FAM1718 thing  replaced with a Group 1 Escort UJ. Wasn't impressed that the garage that did it cut a piece out of the side panel and then welded it back in to do the job - they might have used a bigger plate and some screws!

Problem is that it needs access at both ends of the bolt, so I'm not sure that's a one man job. Also, I have a bit of an oil leak at the front of the engine somewhere. Not so much that it's bigger than the normal usage. But enough that the carport floor is not what I want to lie on. 

The annoying thing is that with the panel off, access is absolutely wonderful. It's just such a bugger to get out and back in - well, might be easy with the rad off, but...
