It's not to bad, drop the kmember down and there's quite a bit of room to work with. Just time consuming.

A full day easy for slowass like me. I would rather take my time though and I hope you use Katechs (Whole other shitpot of threads). I have dropped a K-member but never done rod bolts FWIW.....
