should not be a problem but getting the screw in from the backside is a bi**h.

I agree, No Leaks, but they are a bitch to do. If you can get allenhead sockets in 1/4 inch drive, it would help. Turning that rear screw a c-nt hair at a time takes forever.

But they do look good aftre the fact though.

No, there is no leaking at all...............you are just pulling the bolt for the bracket and putting the bolt right in. No oil to be lost at all.
