Yes, I do that on mine as well. I also have a long handled wrench with a fairly low offset box end, works great to reach the
nuts. Sometimes I find a piece of duct tape over the end of the box wrench helps to hold the nut when I remove it. A
telescoping handled magnet is handy, too, since you will drop a nut from time to time. Next time I have my plugs out, I'll be
replacing the bus bar with a set of individual wires to make testing and replacing easier, since you won't need to remove the
nut, just loosen it and spin the plug out, pull it up by the wire.
