I know I have seen some photo's of a tool made out of a popsicle stick or tongue depresser that is made to help get washers installed on bolts for rod end installations and such. I cannot locate anything using the search feature. Anybody help with this?

I use fishing line that is threaded through everything to initially hold all the washers in place and in the proper order, then I use a 1/8" punch to get everything aligned. Then I remove the fishing line and push the punch out with the bolt. It's not all that easy every time, but that's how I did most of my rod end installations.

I was given this suggestion, but have not used it my self.
Super glue the edge of the washer to a wire. Use the wire to hold the
washer in place. Insert the bolt and then pull the wire off the washer.
YMMV

Another easy way also is to use a masking tape to hold the washer in
place and pull the tape out once the washer is in place and the bolt
is inserted.

I've been using these funny needlenose pliers I ran across - the end are curved down sharply enabling me to fit them into funny angles. Works for both washers and nuts.

David:
I used almost all of the ideas you've read about and they worked to varying degrees; they just took a little longer. In a fit of weakness, I bought those ridiculously priced washer wrenches and they're really sweet and work well. If you'd like to borrow them, let me know and I'll run 'em over to you.
