Default Help!!!!!!!

Guys I'm in the middle of installing my Hooker LT's, I have the driver's side on, but i can't to the very back bolt on the passenger side manifold, I've tried every thing I can think of and I'm completely stumped, any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried it from the bottom? If so, then make sure you have the gasket facing the right way.

I tried it from the bottom and was having a hell of a time keeping the ratchet/wrench or whatever i was trying at the time on there, plus my hands don't fit.

I had to have a friend hold the header from the bottom, wiggled a bit and the bolt popped right in. I am using Stage 8 bolts, but, use a 1/4" ratchet and socket to get it nearly tight, then an open/box end wrench combo, minute turns and patience. Good-luck.

I put a pillow on the battery so I could put both knees on it for support. Then I can get to that last bolt from the top with a 1/4" drive, small small turns.
