I appeal to the superior mechanical abilities of my fellow TBNers. I bought a receiver hitch to install on the wife's truck. It requires four bolts and 1"x2" spacers be placed inside the box frame, about 8" and 18" from the end on each side. Included are four "bolt leaders," stiff wires with coils on the ends, obviously to fit over the bolt while fishing them into the holes. In my semi vast diy mechanical experience I haven't come across this before. My guess is that the bolt and spacer are attached to the coil and inserted into the rear of the frame and manipulated until the end of the bolt sticks through the hole. Then, I suppose a nut could be started on the end of the bolt and the wire pulled on until the coil unwinds and can be pulled out. Is there a better way? Any hints from those who have done this? Thanks.
