I did this at the weekend, as I have a right hand drive car its near impossible to get to from above due to the steering column, so had to access from below.
You can access the rod from below and you don't even need to remove the protection under the engine to get to it as there is a small hole you can get your hand through as well as an even smaller gap through to the wheel arch.
It is however very fiddly though, maybe as the car is RHD I didnt have the space to use a spanner on the 10mm bolt, so I had to use a 10mm Crowsfoot socket on an extension, once loose I spun by hand. To turn the rod I used a 4mm spanner that I bent in half to fit round the gaps.
