Yeah I did this job a few months ago as well, and I'm roughly 6'3 215lbs, and trying to lay on your back in that awkward position, its just a royal pain. I'm lucky my wrists aren't that wide so it was easier. But I'll be honest, at one point I think I had my neighbor on the outside while I was on the inside getting it aligned. I think I got my girlfriend in there once as well since she had smaller arms/hands, but think I just gave in and took a break, then finally got it snugged up. It should go though, you just have to get your hands in the right spot. I unhooked the spring as well I think to get a little more room while I did it.
