I always get the big bolt from underneath started first. Its easy to lever the mount around to get the little ones in from the top.
Did the w124 left hand one yesterday, took all of 40 minutes, only 2 bolts.
Nipped up the wheel bearings 1/4 of a turn, they had play, 1/4 of a turn just got rid of it. Will check with a gauge when I am in a better frame of mind.
With the mount & bearings better the wagon is so much smoother.
