    There are five T-30 screws holding the front bed rail cap on (5 yellow arrows in stock photo below), but I can't reach my hand in to catch any nut that would drop off the backside.

    I want to add a couple D-rings under a couple of these screws so I have to take the screws completely out. Does anyone know whether the nuts on the backside are somehow held in place, and you can remove and re-install these screws without needing access to the nut on the back?

    I'm not removing the rail; just taking a couple of the screws out temporarily, so I can add a d-ring under the screw head.
