Hello listers,

I'm installing new dzus fasteners into the bonnet -- and I'm stuck about the
last part. I've got the grommets in nicely, I put the dzus fastener in, and
the last step is using this "concave" sort of washer thing that goes on the
underside and is supposed to hold the dzus fastener in place. The directions
the guy at TRF gave me was to "flatten out the washer" which will make it
tighten up and hold the dzus. They suggest putting a socket over it and
"tapping". I am finding this difficult to do on the underside of an open
bonnet --- any tips on how to be able to hit with enough force to flatten
out the washer???

Thanks,

Dave Moag
