Karie,
It's not obvious from the drawings, but the you'll see in the written
instructions on page 6-4, fourth and fifth bullets - Cleco then rivet HS-707
to the top side of the skin (then rivet the bottom). This is done before
the skin is placed over the rest of the assembly. Without the HS-702 and
HS-404 in place, the back of the rivets for can easily be reached with a
bucking bar. I had to polish some additional edges on my small bucking bar
(they polish very easily with the scotchbrite wheel) to get the bar in the
tight space, but it's not bad. The spar assembly is then added. At that
point, everything is accessible for riveting, except the 707, which is
already riveted to the skin. The three rivets attaching 707 to 702 and 708
are blind rivets. It takes a little finesse to get the rivet puller in the
correct position, then squeeze the handle, but it's very doable. I just did
this so feel free to write back if something here isn't clear.

with the bucking bar after you have done one side?

I had the same problem trying to find a good in-lb torque wrench. I ended
up buying a used SnapOn 0-150 in-lb wrench (Torquemeter model TE-12A) on
ebay for $85. Works great, and seemed like a great deal for a quality tool.
So you may want to check ebay. I think the guy a bought it from is
continuously selling various aircraft tools.

I over torqued (broke) the hinge bolts on my empennage when using a discount brand.
I ended up purchasing a Snap-on, and it works well.
