Default Re: Replacing screws.

Slide the nut over a Steadfast (terminal) screwdriver or whatever, then hold it in position below the driver handle. Place the blade of the screwdriver over the bolt or stud to take the nut, then let the nut slide down the driver onto the thread.

Keep the driver in place so the nut doesn't come off, then spin it on gently with another pointy thing.

Of course, this is a gravity method. If you are reaching up and you've no gooey stuff to hand but have a socket, coil some solder or moist paper up and fill the socket with it so the nut sits flush with the socket end before offering it to the thread.
