Rear lateral control arms removal

I have a 98 Camry and am in the process of replacing the four rear lateral control arms (rods).
The outer bolts holding them are easy to remove but the inner bolts are another thing...

I got the nuts off but can't figure out a way to remove them.

That bolt is LONG and when you pull it out it hits the fuel tank.

What's the procedure here? Lower the fuel tank? Lower the subframe? Something else?

Someone here must have done it before and can share his "experience"

You have to remove the entire sub-frame to slide them out the rest of the way


edit:
make sure to soak the subframe bolts with PB Blaster before breaking them loose. Those bolts that hold the sub frame in place like to break off, then you have to drill / tap
