Dave,
I used a 1 7/8" Forstner Bit for the big washers. The Forstner makes a nice clean edge. You just have to gauge the depth. It would work better in a drill press, but you can use this in a hand drill. Maybe you can find someone with small hand and fingers for the nuts above the gas tank.
Check out the dual action ratchet

Or the finger wrench http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=54669&cat=1,43456,43407&ap=1
These might give you some ideas.
