I have it halfway in and i can't get it in anymore. the guys that have used this, how did you do it?
freaking jabbed myself with a bloody screwdriver and now my hands bleeding.
any advise

HAHA...
I remember I posted to the forum too... I think the gmls4 forum can't remember... but my post was just like yours without the bleeding... a general post to state my frustration.
It was a bitch to get in and when I finally did it I felt more satisfaction than I did when I graduated high school.
make sure the mount is warm it might make a difference not sure how cold it is where you are installing it.
But if you are not using a vice(as 91 pointed out) you have a better chance of surviving a head first 10 story fall onto concrete.

i freaking gave up for now. Luckily I anticipated something like this so I bought a new OEM one and it is on right now. Will try again the next few days, when my palm heals up a bit.
The vice grip I used made so many marks on the metal which also pissed me off

I believe I had to sand the inside of the metal bracket too because it had some rust... made the surface smoother.
I did not use vice grips though I used only a vice and wd40
