This mail made me laugh even though I have cursed those bolts. I use a ratcheting closed end wrench. The other trick is to set the front bolt where you want it while the rear bolt is very loose. This way you can adjust the front bolt by hand. It's faster for me to loosen the rear bolt repeatedly until I get the front bolt in the right place. Eric Keller Boalsburg, PA
