Problem Installing Gen 2 Oil Pan

[stoessjc]

Does anyone know a trick to getting the rear forward nut on when installing the oil pan on a Gen 2 ATX? Can't get a straight shot at it to get the nut started. At this point, ready to leave it off and hope it does not leak. Any help is much appreciated. John

I believe I used a 1/4 inch drive rachet with a 2 extensions and a universal joint.

Thanks. I tried a 3/8 extension with flex and a 1/4 extension without flex and not luck. Tried a grabber, still no luck. It is very tight and angled, making it hard to get the nut threaded straight. I will try the 1/4 flex. John
