Alan, Are you able to reach all of the bolts through the access ports? The nut actually came off one of my forward bolts. I'm going to try putting a nut in a socket and hope I get lucky enough to have it catch. I cant get my hand in there. (I was able to tighten the aft bolts.) Any other suggestions?
