Yep, it's easy. The next time the crossmemeber is out drill small holes
in it that will allow you to use a 1/4" drive socket to put it together.
If you only have two bolts in, it would still save you time to take them
back out, drill the access holes, and put the whole thing back together in
10 minutes.
