Default Deuce luggage rack - is there an easier way?

Brother softails, i have an 07 Deuce with a sissy bar and luggage rack. Is there an easy way to get the sissy bar and luggage rack on without needing a 90 degree screw driver to do the seat screw up? In what order do you do it and is there a special screwdriver?

Easy sure, time consuming sure, you can get between the fender and tire with a small open-end.

Waterhog is right. Just take an open end wrench on the underside and a socket on top. On/off very quick.

Ah... I'm talking about the seat screw, not the fastening bolts for the sissy bar which connect under the seat. When i have the luggage rack attached to the sissy bar and then go to put the seat back on, the luggage rack obscures the screw that fastens the seat to the rear fender. I'm looking for a way to do this screw up - i wrench or socket isn't an option as the screw is circular.
