Loren,

You'll need a 10 mm deep socket and extension.  Fill the socket with 10mm
nuts to hold one near the edge of the socket for installation.

Subject: [WetWesties] Simple Question on Pop Tops

Getting ready to replace the bolts that attach the pop top to the hinges at
the rear, four on each side. There appears/feels like there are nuts that
those bolts go into, not threaded into the hinges themselves. So, are the
nuts captive nuts (attached to the hinges) or are the just a nut and lock
washer back there? Why the question? It's going to be easy if captive
nuts, more complicated if trying to juggle a wrench blind on the back side
and the screwdriver in the other.
