Last night I started the task of installing the main gear weldments for the final time on my -6A. Previously, I had fit these into place with only a couple of bolts which were easy to get to. After reading AC43 and Van's admonitions to torque the nuts and not the bolt heads where possible, I ended up torquing 6 of the bolts as applying torque on the nuts simply wasn't do-able.
I feel dirty about doing it but couldn't see any other possible way. All nuts forward, BTW - can't get many of the bolts in otherwise.
