Agree with Jon,
if I get a really awkward nut I use a pair of needle nose pliers and jiggle (jiggle being used in its full technical definition rather than a lay term
) the nut a bit while pushing it into the mount.
Also have found that I don't need any additional holding for the screws. Have been running the Bioloid Humanoid for close on 9 months now I guess without any issues or a single lost screw.

I've put together both the humanoid and my own custom robot (MicroRaptor) without anything extra holding the screws. If you screw them in tight enough, they don't come out by themselves.

Further to the nut insertion problem, if you ensure that when you are inserting them with the screwdriver that you are pushing the nut down with it's sides parallel i.e. you are seeing the "pointy" part of the nut as it goes in, they go in pretty easily.
Another point, since I have made quite a few of the robots now, I don't bother to take out the nuts from the servos and find that most of the time that they are in the right postion for the next one.

) and can't wait till I get used to the hardware enough to move to C and or build my own apps. ( may look into useing MAX/GMAX or some other animation program to copy over the tween info as pose states . .at the very least I should be able to get a useable set of data, useing a much better front end UI)
