Must have been done a zillion times before, but.........

Rear subframe removed from my XJ6S1 - mainly to fit an alternative diff and deal with seized brakes.

But, anticipating reassembly, I don't see how the calipers are refitted. In particular the lower mounting bolt. How does one get the bolt tightened up and fit locking wire in such a confined space? The ops manual doen't seem to spell this out but as far as I can see ready access to the lower bolt is only achievable with the tie plate and fulcrum bracket removed.

Am I missing the obvious? Any tips or 'how tos' would be much appreciated.
