Default LCA nut

So I spun the welded nut on the vertical bolt of the LCA. Doing some research I found that you need to cut a hole in the floor board to get to it. My question is does anyone have some rough dimensions as to where to cut from a reference point. I don't want to hack up the floor to much

Eye it up. It is not an exact science. Get close and cut it.

ok I got the hole cut, it ain't pretty, but it works, I tried every thing and it isn't coming out. Am I better off just cutting the bolt, and the cage out, and using locking washer and some loktite?

No room for an 21mm open end wrench?

I threw the towel in on this one. Limped it over to the Dodge dealership, apparently you drill a hole in the sub frame, about an inch in diameter, and put a wrench on it.
