Re: dash mounted rearview mirror

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is a lightqweight nut and can't be very tight.  Take a piece of flat 
mteal about 1/8 " thick and 1" wide. - and about an inch longer than the nut 
is wide.  Bend each end back about 1/2" f from the end at a 90 Degree angle 
. Now you have  a U shaped piece of metal that will slip over the nut  and 
give you something better to grip by hand , or put a srewdriver thru it to 
assist turning. Clear as mud????  :-)..........................MO.......sw
