What is the trick to getting the nuts on the mounting bolts on the 8A landing gear towers. My hands are not bending at the right angles to get my fingers up to the upper inner bolts. How did others get those bolts in and tight.

Read some of these post and get the better nuts, 12 point. Might save a failure, or just give Tom Brink a call at Gahco, He is aware of the problems we have had and has the exact hardware for this application. He helped me a lot, we used my airplane as a prototype to get the right hardware lengths and such. I am not flying yet but nor am I worried about landing gear nut failure. The only nut failure might be the nut in the front seat..hahah
