Fish wiring is a pretty cool way to get bolts up into places that are too tight to fit your hands into. It basically involves threading the wire through the hole where the bolt needs to go with the coiled end going in first, attaching the bolt and block where the wire comes out of an open frame channel and then pulling it back through. There are a couple other variations as well.
If you check out the video I attached you will see the process described and shown.
