@Chase8059 and I probably spent 45 minutes a piece on that one stud trying to get the nut on there. Fucking frusterating...

We also left the pillar bracket off.

 

How did you guys finally manage to get the locknut on the bolt in the lower right corner?

 

Angrily and despondently.

 

I might try to tackle it when the weather gets better, but my snorkel isn't moving at all with only 4 of 5 bolts secured.

 

I ended up covering my fingers in grease so the nut would stick to them and I eventually got it started using just the tips.

 

I got something special in the mail. Just waiting for a decent weather day to install.

 

Hmm good idea. I tried using tape to hold the nut but didn't work too well. Besides, I love playing "just the tip."

 

You can use grease to stick the washer on there too so it doesnt fall off everytime you fail to get the nut started.

 

I wanted to be the hold out but I am not sure I can.....................

 

Curse words were used, tools were thrown, I think "this is literally impossible" came out of my mouth 10 times.

You have to balance the luck nut on the tips of your fingers, and slowly start the threads. Try putting some grease on your finger tips so it sticks a bit.

 

When I used to ride/wrench on my Harley's, many of times I've taped a nut to my fingertip to get to stay on until I could get it started.

I wonder how hard it is to remove the fender? LOL

 

A lot of talk about nuts going on today.

 

Cause' we're all nuts! No non-nuts on this thread.

 

Greased nuts at that
