Not quite sure if this will help but at work we sharpen the pin to a point and put the other end in a variable speed drill, lubricate the lobes and insert gently, it should follow through.
Ooups,,, I think your saying that the frame is still in the car,,, besides removing it I see no alternative, unless you what to drill a hole in the wheel well and plug it afterwards.

the frame is quite easy to remove ,just a few screws around the perimeter and the whole top of the compartment comes off, it will then be easier to have some room to manipulate the rod through, while you have the compartment out good time to see if you need some clean up and paint in the opening, especially in the battery compartment which can get nasty
