Trickiest part was finding space to get one click on the 3/4 inch drive ratchet. I used an extension from the socket down in the bilge to the ratchet about 2 feet long to get above the settees and that worked to get 1 click with the 4 ft extension on the drive. A wobbly setup but I got the job done complete with new bedding and 3/8 inch stainless steel backing plates below the nuts. Then I did the famous C&C smile repair from the outside and solved that ugly issue.
