stick your finger up there and hold the bar. get both of them threaded so itll stay in place when you tighten.

or go get the welder.

I ran the bolts for mine through the threaded bar a bunch of times and put some oil on them to make installing them as easy as possible.

I didn't have any problem holding it with my finger through the opening and just pushing down to get them both started. With both started, it isn't going anywhere.

Try a small screw driver in one side to keep it alligned and feed the bolt through until it grabs.
