Once it's started screwing in (finall), I hold the nut with flat pliers, which forces me to bend the side protection outwards like crazy and of course it damages the nut shape... In the end it takes me a couple of minutes of frustration per side every time and the nuttier I get the longer it takes me. Can you suggest a better method? Thank god in the back I have the M2C setup otherwise I'd probably start throwing my car at the wall

thanks

Reversing it for sure makes life a lot easier. I have a set of bent forcepts. Still not easy, but i got it down. In the rear there is more room to work with, esspecialy on the truggy.
