i think i know which one u mean. does it sit under the bend on the pipe? sometimes u gotta dent the pipe a tad bit to get it in. and sometimes that has to be the first bolt u start before the rest are put in so u can tighten it right

well, I'm sure that's the situation the OP is in, more than likely he has a 3" DP that wasn't dented in at the flange or they didn't use a a 2.5" to 3" transition. Maybe try grinding away the weld at that spot and indenting that area and rewelding??

I have an extremely tight fit on mine, using a 2.5" flange with 3" pipe welded right to it. I just barely dented it in and I used stainless allen head bolts to eliminate having to put a socket on it.

Depends on how tight the bend is but can you get any short bolt in there ? Maybe use a stud and thread on the nut before you seat the downpipes all the way
