Thanks Ron; all good suggestions but unfortunately none is suitable. See
the attached photo and you'll understand why. The perspective is from the
starboard side looking through the opening for the spar. The stick is full
down elevator and anything much less than full makes it impossible even to
see the offending bolt.

Hi Rob
I don't know exactly what you are up against, but some things I use to start
difficult nuts:
Grease on finger to hold, them
Contact cement on finger to hold them
Use magnets, all sorts of possibilities like just holding the magnet, or
magnet on a stick or wire or even on a wrench Use JB KWIK weld or rapid
epoxy to glue nut to piece of something, this is only temporary and you pull
it off once started, like thin metal or wire or anything that makes sense
Can you glue the nut to whatever it lives on first? Then use Redux or JB Can
you permanently install a nut? Nut plate? Tack welded nut to where it lives?
