Good retro fix. Also Lowes (and other hardware stores) carries socket sets where the sockets have holes all the way through and a closed end rachet wrench fits over the top. Would be perfect for this job. I have done 2 sets so far and what I did was set a 2X4 on the ground and brace 2 of the top bolts on it and put a foot on it so the assembly is stable. I then first break the seal with the allen I than can usually get the nut off with a standard socket set. This is usually the longest part of the install and nothing about it is easy though.
