After trying to install the Roof Top Tent on the roof rack with limited clearance between the roof and the rack, I find it extremely difficult to get to the bolts to loosen or tighten. My arms just will not fit in the 3" space.:crybaby:

What I end of doing is loosening the roof rack and then prop it up on a block of wood. I need a tool to lift the 50+lbs on each corner to do this easily without scratching the roof using a pry bar. Ideally I would like a mini jack that I could stick in between the roof rack and the roof and use a wrench/socket, or handle to lift it up.

Do you know of any tools out there that will accomplish this?:hhmm:
 
Or you could save the $60, go to a junkyard and pull the jack out of some compact car. The spare tire jack would be about perfect for something like that.
