Installing Adel Clamps - the EASY Way!

[@andrewfragala5131]

You're very lucky to work in an area on the aircraft with room like that for the clamps and the driver. If you are in a tight spot, I would recommend using safety wire to hold them together while threading the screw into the holes. Having about a 3 inch loop already clamped in the pliers, then putting it over the clamp and twisting. Hope it helps.

Or you could use a awl and mini vice grips then tie a jam knot with wax string after threading the string through the bolt hole it will hold it closed when vice grips are removed and the bolt will still have enough tolerance with the thin wax string to go through no problem learned that particular trick on a C-130 in the Air Force installing what was a very long screw with several adel clamps and spacers.
