It is a little confined for space but I have had success leaving the unit unbolted from the toe plate. Lay some blocks of scrap wood on the frame and adjust the wood and maybe use some rags as padding and something to to cradle the BTV in the approximate position. Reach back to start the lines from inside the car. After you make sure the nuts are started properly but not tightened you can remove the blocking and making sure the unit doesn't get away from you enough to stress the lines bolt the toe plate onto the unit. Once the unit is in the proper position and the toe plate screwed into the floor you can do the reach over the fender to tighten the nuts.
