Getting ready to start actually putting my Hookers on and was wondering if anyone had any tricks to getting this PITA tube back onto the header?

And dont say just block it b/c I may have to pass emissions here sometime in the future.

Thanks

I am not sure of the hooker set up, but if it is anything like my edelbrocks I took off the egr valve in the front (two 15mm bolts) used some rtv red on the egr gasket to header hookup and let it dry to keep the egr gasket in place. After removing the egr assembly from the block I could manipulate the tube enough to get the bottom bolt started and then got the top started. Once they were started, I manipulated the egr valve bracket back on and tightened it. Then I finished tightening the two bolts that went on the header. That bottom bolt is tough but one of those u joint sockets from sears is your friend. Hope this is what you were talking about.
