Just wondering yellafeva,
was the car up off all four wheels.
Trying to do one side at a time will cause the problems you had described.

- I don't remove the gas filler tube but use two 2-1/2 inch (or 2" ?? can't recall) socket extensions joined together, a deep socket, and just press back against the rubber boot. After fully loosening but before removing the nuts, I insert a socket magnet (Sears) in the socket so it will hold the nut and prevent it from falling in the crevice. If this happens, I found taping a piece of magnet to a zip-tie is a good tool to reach the nut (guess how I found out ). Using an air-ratchet wrench also makes it a lot easier and faster as you don't have to be cranking in a tight space.

I also lost a nut in the crevice, but since I didn't have any strong magnet, I used super glue on my fingertip and touched the nut with it. Piece of cake!!! It was glued strong enough to pull a car with it.
