Stuff a rag under the cooler before you take the nuts off. This will
keep the bolts from dropping down into the cylinders.
When putting the cooler back, put a rubberband around the bolts above
the case. When you tighten the cooler bolts, the rubberband will be
pinched out of the way.
There was a wrench made to hold the bolts while tightening, but I doubt
if it is still available.
