Default oops..!! rear lower tie-bar install ABORT.. HELP!! S.O.S.

aRgh.. earlier tonight i made the stupid mistake of trying to install a Neuspeed Rear Lower Tie-Bar, only to realize that lining up the LCA bolt holes wasn't going to be easy as i thought it would be..

i decided to just put the stock bolt back on, but i'm having a REALLY hard time doing it. would anyone have any tips on how to keep the bolt holes lined up while i try to thread the bolt back in?? i dont have any air tools or a pry bar to help..

i thought i'd be able to finish this in time to make my friend's birthday celebration tonight, but now its not looking so good..

i tried searching and i found a couple of write ups, but none of them really went into much detail about how hard it would be to line up the holes..

thanks a lot guys, i really hope i can fix this tonight!

how did you get it in? usualy i end up resorting to hittin the head of the bolt with a hammer and moving the lca up and down with my foot until it goes in right

my friend had this trouble b4... the best way i found out was to get a helping hand. tell that person to wiggle the rotor aroudn to try to line it up while u keep pushing the bolt in. takes time and patience to do it. gl
