Use an box end wrench to capture the nut by using tape on the other side of
it. Hold it in place whole someone turns the bolt from the top side. If
the bolt can not ne turned from above usr a rachiting box end wrench.

First a tip: I?m rebedding two stanchions using butyl tape. The first one
on the port side was not too bad. I added backing plates (there were none,)
and harder washers after first drilling out the hole, filling with epoxy,
and re-drilling the hole. Here?s the tip? I used a dab of butyl tape on the
back of the backing plate, and each washer. I pressed the washers together
and onto the backing plate. Then, when I installed the backing plate with
the adhered washers over the bolts, they all stayed in-place giving me time
to get the nuts on.
Now the help I need: the second stanchion on the stbd side is harder to get
at. It?s not directly viewable and I have to use a mirror to see the bolts.
Have you ever tried to work looking through a mirror? Not easy. Still, I
got the big nut on the ?? bolt. I?ve even got the backing plate and washers
on the smaller bolts; but, for the life of me, I can?t get the nut on. I
can touch the end of the bolt; but, cannot get enough of my hand in there to
start the nut. The liner is in the way so it?s not a clear shot in line
with the bolt. I can use a socket and universal once I get the nut on.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get the nut on a bolt I can?t
directly see and can?t get more than two fingers on it at the same time?

Warren - I haven't had to do this...yet. But I always figured that when the
day came, I would use a Dremel and cut away a section of the liner. - Allan

Warren,? If you can get the socket in the area, you might try to "capture"
the nut in the socket by wedging the nut in the socket using a small square
of cloth to hold the nut just inside the socket.? This has worked for me in
the past.? Ken

Ditto to what Ken suggested only I've use double-sided tape to hold the nut.

Hi Warren,
Not wanting to be a wise guy, but do you know a small young High school
girl that is a gymnast? At my age,63, I am finding my manual dexterity
suffering along with the arthritis in my hands, it is my pride that is a
problem. When I watch the young people play the games and text messages,
I think one would be a potential resource. Just a thought!!
