Default Number three body mount repair insert

Has anyone had the pleasure of making this repair? The vendor recommends installing it from the bottom, but that doesn't work for me.The body is too low and I am too old. I am thinking of cutting out the wheel well and going in that way.The bottom is worse than it looks in the picture. Any advice and tips would be appreciated.

That repair part does not go in from the bottom. It goes inside from your first picture . Good luck.
