Default Nut fell out!!!!

I was trying to adjust my saddle bag today and removed the bolt towards the rear. Well the nut in rear thats inside the chrome piece just came falling out. Doesn't look easy to fix. Do I have to take this all apart?

Whew! Not as bad as I thought. I thought you were talking about a different kind of "nut"!

Im confused what the nut and bolt your speaking of are. The bags are held on by 2 pins, that fit into sprung zeus pads. Which bolts are you speaking of?

Did it drop out of your pant leg? It didn't roll to far did it? I think they can put it back in. OH, never mind I didn't really read your post.

Yes, unless you have a pair of angled long needle nose pliers. Do not tighten all the way until you adjust your bags.

I have to take my saddlebag brackets off to take out some spacers that are in there.
Does this mean I'm going to have a PITA over this nut? Kind of sounds like it.

Ok well now that we have the testicular nut jokes out if the way, I'd say yes probably gonna have to take it all apart to safely reinstall it without chipping something or making this already pain in the *** issue any more frustrating or time consuming than it already is, that would likely end up with you pulling it off in the long run byway. Don't forget the beer, it's essential to the job.
