How did you folks get the nuts on the 1/4" bolts at the rear of the slider roll bar? Looks like a near impossible task.

I tried fuel lube to hold the nut to my finger tip, no joy. Can't just hold the nut between my fingers. Can't fit a wrench in there.

I am tempted to carve away a little of the flange on the bottom of the aft canopy deck, enough so I can get a socket extension up there.

And the worst part is, I'll have to remove the nut and install spacers to get the roll bar perpendicular to the canopy deck, which may mean removing and replacing the nut & washer several times. So there has to be a good way.

How did others do this?

That worked pretty well for me:

good luck,

carve it

Yeah , I asked that question too~, carve some and use duct tape to tape
the parts to your finger to get them started.. then I made a custom wrench
but if you cut a round hole up through there you can use a 1/4 ratchet with extention.. my works just keep the hole small as possible or get someone
with skinny fingers..

Try a glue stick.

Super glue and a pair of 90 needle nose plies. Worked for me

Fuel Lube and a power ratchet on top worked for me.
