My solution was similar to Karl's. I took an allen wrench and used a grinder to shorten the short end to about a quarter of an inch. I could fit this on to the loose screws without removing the pin. It was slow and tedious but got the job done in a relatively short amount of time.

Tuck this in the tight spot to tighten the ridiculously inaccessible screws. > >karl > >>---- Mark Dearing <VWBrain@AOL.COM> wrote: >>> Hey guys any ideaS on how to fix this problem? whats the best way to >>> tighten these guys up? later mark d |
