Gears & Axles - Torque Arm !?#%

Okay, I just replaced the u-joints and i'm trying to mount the torque arm back on the rear end. The bottom bolts line up, but I can't pry, whack, bend, jack, or any other verb I can think of to cause the top bolts to line up. Is there a trick, or do i have to buy a drift and go from there with lots of body english and other languages? This can't be a big thing since there is so little published about it, but it's meaner than I am. Suggestions are needed.

TIA,
jeff

did you try jacking up the differential a little bit?you gotta jack it up a hair and the bolts should drop right in.

I've had mine in and out about 10 times and never had a problem. We're assuming you have the rear of the car raised??

Jack the rear on the panhard bar mount to remove some load and it'll fall together.
