Pro tip: When you try and place the nut under the fender lip, use a piece of painter's tape one side of a boxed end wrench, then put the nut in the wrench............ really hlps getting the bolt started.

This is a good tip - i just stuck the nut on duct tape, aligned it with the hole and taped it under the lip. i did this because i am CURSED with always dropping stuff under the hood!

Pro Tip #2: when putting in a bolt (vs a nut) Put a single layer of painters tape over the bolt head then force the socket / wrench over the bolt head. The tape acts as a shim but the socket / wrench is easily removed after the threads are engaged.
