Default Need help, Tips motor mount install>>

Well I'm stuck. I got the passanger side poly motor mount in, took about 2 hours. Hooker LT slide right in, perfect fit. Drivers side motor mount came out real easy, just like the passanger. This is where the fun starts. I'm by myself, so managing the jack is tricky, but I like about 1/4 inch to get the 18mm bolt back through the hole. I'm using prybars, jacking the motor up, even loosened the passanger side mount. No luck. What else should I try? I have to have my car before I go to work Monday night. HELP

You could try loosening the four bolts that hold the pedestal to the frame and kinda moving it closer.....

i just finished mine up last night. It ended up taking 2 people though. one person prying the motor towards the passenger side, while the othe one hiting the bolt in with a hammer. I put the pry bar under the motor mount and pushed towards the pass side. It was a pain in the *** but it ended up working
