You will need to do something as it will be a complete arse to get back in.

Easiest thing to do is remove the bottom of the two bolts that hold the trailing are to the rear upright and then tilt it. This should give enought of an angle change to get the bolt in, well it did on mine anyhow.

Hope this helps
