I'm in the middle of dealing with this myself, I just reached up with my head pointing out from the driver's side, one hand pinching the shell, the other trying the thread the bolt in. This was the only way I could do it.

Generally you won't need to make any further modification than what we list in our installation instructions, but I guess some guys may need to do a little more to get the bushing to mount correctly. If there is material still inside the factory clamshell, remove that before touching your new polyurethane bushing.

I got mine in last night, I just put 2 jack stands on the 10 bolt so that the suspension was loaded as it were on the ground. I had an extra set of hands to help compress the clamshell on. Eventually it slid right in. I don't even know why it was so hard in the first place.
Just one of those things that you have to leave and come back to a day or two later and it works magically like it should lol...

i have a small write up with pics when it comes to that exact problem... search under " bmr torque arm , new pix how to install " in the suspension section, mine was with an m6 trans... pretty much i put the clamshell mount on, without the bushing, trimmed in certain places as seen in my thread, then lubed the bushing and pushed it in.
i was also worried that a lil sensor plug would rub the very edge of the tq arm on the trans housing, but i dont think it has, something you may want to dremel/grind out while your there

Glad to see a lot of people aren't having too much trouble installing their BMR Torque Arms. It's a very straight forward install, if you ask me, and our instructions explain it pretty well. I would love to have more pictures showing the installation process, but we actually don't receive too many calls about installation help.
