Use a scissor jack(widow maker) to raise the car a little for the jack to go under. Only use a scissor jack when lifting on the sill jack point. Use the trolley jack under the wishbone mount where its solid

Tom I've only just seen this post, I've done exactly the same thing and i used a wire coat hanger with masking tape on, to fish around till I got it out.

Oh and yes the screws always rust.

Good job and that sockets still here for you.

yeah it is an arse of a job aint it. i tend to use a grinder to get the screw heads off, then bin the arch liner so i havent got to put it back on again and remove whats left of the screws with mole grips.

actually much quicker
