I'm pretty certain I know this answer, but was wondering if anyone knows a trick I don't and can save me time.

The back of the wing leading edge rivets to an aft-facing flang under the aft skin. Can I replace the leading edge using solid rivets without pealing back a corner of the bottom aft skin?

Thanks!

Tip, lightning holes and inspection access?

I'm looking at pictures and thinking... Maybe I can get to that flang through the tip, spar lightning holes and most crucially the inspection panel.

Does that work?

I suspect it will. A long arm helper who has done a wing or two would be a big help.
