I gess your right but if you take a pry bar with a cleave cut down to fit between the outer skin and the iner plate thenj weld the cleave to the pry bar you can get in up there settle it on the head and and be able to use leverage to keep it still then just hammer the outsde with a second cleave and hamer.
