The task of managing battery cables, bolt, screwdriver and the rear nut is bad enough but made worse when there's just no room for my fat fingers to hold it all together while engaging the nut and bolt.
Here's a simple fix: I snoop around the "misc" drawer in the shop to find some random foam, cut a small piece and fit it behind the nut, holding it in perfect alignment. And no more battery terminal nuts rolling around the shop floor, never to be seen again.
