OK - so I see these nice shiny new fender emblems in the catalog and figure that this is something I can afford and, even with my limited mechanical skills, must be a snap to put in. Well I got them last week and this past Sunday, thought I'd just pop them on. Well - not so easy. If I hold the flashlight just right, I can kinda see one nut on the inside of each fender and completely out of reach of any wrench. When I bought these, I didn't expect that I would have to disassemble the entire clip to put them on.

It's a 71 GMC; the fender emblems are just ahead of the door. If anyone out there has any tips on how to do this, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
