Bottom wing skin attachment

After many a delay...
Did anyone ever run in to a problem bucking the bottom skins while the aileron pushrods were installed? Any space issues with getting your hands in there?
 
Just me

I did mine with the push rods removed. It was tight even then. It is only one bolt, not sure why one would want to leave them in.
 
I left them in

They were a bit of a pain, but I worked around the pushrods to buck all the rivets. In a couple of places I used a footed bar to get around the rods. I found actually moving the aileron through it's travel moved the rods out of the way depending where I was riveting.
