LR3 Mod, printed/milled tools to help assemble/maintain your LowRider

Anyone else struggle/frustrated while snugging/removing M5 nuts on the LowRider 3 braces? Ideally all the nuts would be recessed/captured.

Was frustrated enough to create a M5 Nut holder

Curious if someone has better (ideally metal) solution/tool already? Since this print, while helpful, can’t handle high torque.

I found that a regular 8mm wrench was fine, and just make sure that you set all of the captive nuts first, but install the plate that uses the captive nuts last.

Thanks @SupraGuy, installed in the sequence you suggested and bought $10 set of small metric wrenches from harbor freight. So much easier than using the free thin stamped metal M5 wrench that came with my 3d printer.
