Fitting the arms caused a lot of head scratching as the spacer washers are a very tight fit. A compact mirror was useful to view the progress and it also helped to pass the bolts through first a few times to ease passage later.
Sandwiching them in place as you offered up the arm seemed to work well - with a few episodes of them pinging off across the garage at the last minute.....boundless joy with cold fingers!
We used Phillips screw drivers to roughly position and hold the brackets, arms and washers in place, but even so it was very hard to get alignment good enough as the washers are so tightly clamped. A pair of needle nosed pliers gently tapped with a mallet proved the solution to getting the spacers exactly aligned and at last the bolts were in position. Rubber mallets - what can't they solve?
