Has anyone devised an easier way to mount/unmount the front splitter? It is a pain to get to the 5 bolts on the bottom that hold the spillter to the chassis. My struggle is to hold the bottom bolts tight while spinning the nuts on top when working alone.

In addition some of the top nuts have restricted access due to the pedal box.

Any ideas or just accept it is a furstrating job?

While I was doing a pedal box rehab project anyway with the front plate off I welded in nuts here.  For both this plate and the underneath bolts and a lot of other unstressed places I have put in these nutserts.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCWRH7N?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_14&th=1

Huge help in not having top repeatedly drill and re-rivet or having to ask mu wife to come and hold a wrench for me 🙂

@gordon513 Amazon sells a good quality set of these.  I think mine was $70 and came with several different sizes and the tool to install them
