....by loosening the radiator and raising it up. Then undo the front mount. Put a jack with a wood block under the "front" of the tranny. Jacking up the nose of the tranny after the front mount is undone might get enough tilt to the whole power unit to get a drill in there as long as the car is high enough off the ground. Even a few degrees might make enough difference.
Yes it might strain the other two engine mounts but you have bigger problems than that right now. You can loosen the nuts on the other two mounts to get the whole mount to tilt rather than just twisting the rubber in them. Don't take the side mount nuts all the way off.
