I've never had a problem doing the bolt up, it's normally undoing it that's the pain. Top trick is to hacksaw the right angle off a correct size Allen key leaving you the long straight bit then use this in an electric drill, the initial torque of the drill spinning up usually works, i.e. several quick burst after the tube stops spinning, may well work in reverse for doing it back up but if you're refitting all the parts having cleaned everything with paraffin and before putting any oil in the bolt should tighten up without issue.
