I used my rivet gun to tap them in.

Its easiest with 4 people, it you could do it with 3. Have one at the wingtip
and two at the wing root, one in front and one behind the wing. The one at the
back will need a screwdriver or something to spread the rear spar carry-through
so the rear space can fit into the slot. While holding the front of the wing,
the person in front or behind can sight through a bolt hole to verify alignment,
then the other person can put the bolt in place and tap it in. The person
at the wingtip will adjust his position to help alignment. Once one bolt is
in place on top, then the person at the wingtip will move up or down as necessary
to get a hole at the bottom to line up, then tap another bolt in place. Make
sure to grease the bolt before inserting. It will help them go in and come
back out when necessary. You can clean any grease from the threads for final installation.
Once 2 bolts are in place the rest will be much easier. I like to
use a 2x2 long enough to hit with a mallet in fr!
ont of the front tank baffle so I dont risk hitting the wing or the fuselage.
Make sure any fittings in the tank area dont get in the way of the bolts. It can
happen easily.

I found with pilot bolts that my spar web holes did not line up on left
wing with the holes in the square spar caps. (IOW the bolts wouldn't go
through wing spar by itself without the carry through. Vans advised me to
carefully use Dremel on back side of the web to enlarge web holes only to
match, and even though I had the right size reamer to NOT use the reamer
from the front side as it might remove material from the spar caps.
Used dry ice, LPS1 and drift pins with dead blow rubber mallet to get mine
in.
