Sounds just as frustrating to do to me or a 2 man job.

i have a little trick for the sagging socket universal if that`s what your asking, grab your roll of insulation tape and do several runs around the universal part, grab hold of your wobbly and give it a bend/feel, if it`s not stiff enough go around a few more times, till it will bend with a bit of pressure but not flop.
