    Default 2016 Spyder RT LTD front shock top bolt install

    I found a better way to install the top bolt by using this tool for installing bolts in auto frames for trailer hitches:
    CURT 58390 18-Inch Trailer Hitch Fish Wire for 3/8-Inch Diameter Bolts bought on Amazon

    That could work …. but for way less money, just paper tape the nut to closed end of a combo wrench ……. Mike

    Sorry to steal this from Curt, but just solder the wire to the end of a Heli-coil for whatever size bolt is needed for any needed application.
    I needed to get at those top bolts when I installed Baja Ron's Spring Adjusters and couldn't get at them(wire Bundles in the way), so I just took the whole frunk off. Found lotsa interesting things under there that needed attention. Easy to get off BTW.
