Well if I remember correctly, there are 3 per side and you can only get to 1 of them on the backside so how are you going to install them?

I've had the same problem. To get to them you have to cut an access hole into the end of the tube. I ended up taking a nut, welding it to a washer, then placed the washer nut combo on the back side, and welded it in place on the front. My repair isn't orginal but will hold better than the captured nuts and no one would have ever known if I hadn't told it .
