If this is correct then you might try drilling through the rib into the foam (but not into the cover) with a 1/2" bit. Go through the hole with a wire (now the nasty part) and scrape out as much foam as possible. Remove your bolts for the bell crank and cover them with grease and reinstall. Then mix some epoxy and pour into the 1/2" hole and roll around (if the wing is removed) or spread with a small rag on the tip of a wire. You may have to do this several times. Then patch the 1/2" hole with micro followed by 2 bid. I would try this before cutting into the wing surface. Just sounds like cutting a hole in the wing skin would be no fun.
