Tonight I worked a bit to remove the broken rib. First, however, I was able to get a good look down the leading edge of the right wing thanks to the false ribs being removed. there was a bunch of mouse nest leftovers outboard of the hole I cut so I spent some time with the shop vac cleaning the wing out. Managed to remove everything I could see. I also was able to get a good luck at the adjacent rib bays and determined that I didn't need to remove any more skin which is great!
The last thing I did tonight was remove the main rib that I broke while removing skin. It didn't cause too much trouble. For now at least this is the last phase of destruction in this section of the wing. There is a chance I might end up re-working the trailing edge but that won't come until the rib repairs are complete. Here is a photo:
