Default changing rear shocks gx 470

How do you get the top nuts back on? Any tricks, there is not enough room to maneuver the nut back on.

I just did this few months ago. Don't recall having any issue putting the nuts back on.

I really can't remember exactly, but I think I jacked up the frame instead of the axle to create the space needed to start the nut.
