Tightening nuts

What do you reach in with to tighten up your nuts? I'm talking about the main gear weldment and wing spar attachment for final assembly of the wing to fuse........ Sorta kinda i think. :confused: Anybody?
 
Hi Jim....

What do you reach in with to tighten up your nuts?

.......ice cubes:D Seriously though, the lower bolts that are shared by the spar and the weldment go in from the rear and it doesn't look like a socket will fit there but an open end or box wrench will. The uppers are not a problem. BTW, the weldments will carry the weight of the airplane without the wing spar bolts so the wings won't be in the way while you finish up the forward fuselage.

Regards,
