In the past when doing that sort of thing, I would drill a small hole to see how close I am then determine where adjustments are needed for the large one.
As you can see in the pictures, I was close on No. 6 Bolt hole. I basically marked a centerline in the trunk with chalk. I then measured out from the center line the distance as marked in the chassis manual to the bushing bolt No. 6. Then I drilled a small pilot hole up from underneath thru the trunk floor inline with the bolt front to back. Now i had the coordinatesfor the bolt(or so I thought). I then used a 3" hole saw to cut the hole, leaving a small amount on one side. This would allow me to "close the lid" and mig it back inplace without having a bend crease in the metal in the end.

No, I will do the same for No.5 if the PB Blaster doesnt do its job.
