Got lucky in my infinite procrastination,
trying to figure out how to set 3 bolts into an area
I could barely see, let alone touch with 2 fingers to start them.

Got some round head allen bolts, stuck them into a foot or so
of that flexible yellow fuel line and was able to twist them into the
threads from absurd angles.

Probably something I already knew, forgot and re remembered.

A very useful tip... thanks for posting it! Now if I can just remember it, my vocabulary should clean up nicely when faced with a similar tricky bolt installation.

I've used rubber hose to start sparkplugs and magnetic extensions to start bolts that weren’t at odd angles.
