One approach is to cut out the two bulkheads between the spar and rear of 
tanks that are keeping you from being able to work effectively, and then simply 
replace them when you have whipped the leak problem.  This is less difficult 
than it appears.

I had a leak at the outer edge of the rear bulkhead, and had to revove the 
smaller end bulkhead to cure it. Curing required grinding out some of the 
material and then replacing it with flox and cab-o-sil.
