Thomas,
1987 was a long time ago. But, I don’t remember it as a particularly difficult thing. I think I just crawled under the cockpit seats on my back. You will want to wear safety glasses because stuff can fall in your face. I remember using a socket wrench with a 12” extension and an angle grinder, both of which gave me enough reach to the bottom of the gunnel. Naturally, I needed a helper up on top to turn the screw driver. I think I used a blob of silicone RTV on the fender washer & nut to hold them together in the socket until the threads took hold. As I recall, the whole project only took about an hour, which is usually about all my wife will stick around as a helper.
