When I had my transmission out, I added a helicoil to the top bolt and 
it made things much nicer.  I left the bottom as a nut and bolt because 
it is so accessible.  Prior to the helicoil, I just put a strip of 
masking tape inside the open end wrench and jammed the nut in the 
wrench.  This held the nut well enough to get the top bolt it, but then 
the wrench just pulled off.

A couple strips of masking tape inside a wrench or socket can be very 
helpful to hold a nut in place while you get the threads started.    On 
a related note, I've also put a drop of super glue on a pencil eraser 
and stuck on a nut.  The bond is strong enough to start the nut, but 
will break off when enough force is involved.
