Header install HELP want to finish today!

Ok i started this project at 11 am yesterday
got back into my house at 4:30am today and im back at it again. The headers are IN Pass side needed to take off the alt and starter, Driver side. Loose the WHole stearing linkage(had to get that black cover off) and jack the motor up about 6 inches.. Well the headers are in and plugs and wires back on.. it runs! Just i cant get the big through bolt back into the motor mount. The one where the Mount on the ENGINE and hte one on the subframe kinda connect and have a through bolt thats like 6-7 inches long. I sprayed it all down with Wd40 to kinda help it slide in.. Ive jack it back up and let it back down. Im hitting on the top of the mount with a prybar and a hammer.. that got it within 1/2 and inch of the bolt making it through.. just cant get it to seem to go in. Anyone have any ideas! i wanna drive around with open headerrrrrrrrrs

I would jack the engine slightly and loosen the frame and engine side bolts to give you some slop. After you get the long bolt all of the way through then you can tighten up the other bolts.
