Using the pliers, grasp the hex nut and hold firmly.

Using the thumb of the same hand, position the fender washer so it is centered on the screw, and hold in place.

By using the eyeball method, carefully center and place the fender washer with the screw and hex nuts on top of the washer. You only have one chance, so make sure the fender washer is centered.
