Take the A-Arms out. I ended up doing this and I think I saved some time by doing it lol.
Otherwise, a bunch of knuckles, extensions, a few choice words and a good back.

IIRC, there are a few bolts still hard to get to even with the A-Arms out. Just get a closed end wrench that fits the nut and tape it on one side.

i figured out a way!
a nice retractable pen magnet works great. stick the nut on it and if you gentle enough rotate the bolt by hand and the nut starts then use a wrench to get a hold of the nut for tightening.
thanks for all your help.
