need serious help

[blk99]

I am finally getting around to installing the turbo back into the truck and I cant get the bolt tightened on the driver side uppipe. The one lower/back bolt on the ycollector end of the uppipe. I just can not get anything in there to turn it! I have tried knuckles, a crows foot, my bare hand, every thing I can think of but i cant get too it. I also took out the transmission bolt that was in the way and that didnt help.
I havent even tried the passenger side yet cause I have been working on this side for 5 or 6 hours!!!!

does anybody have any tips, tricks, or ideas?

I need as quick of help as I can get.

Thanks a TON guys!

ON the drivers side bottom bolt I went up from the bottom with an 18" extension then used a universal adaptor on the end then used a 2" extension and then the socket.

The top one I used a ratchet end wrench from the top of the engine. I had a worse time with the top one than the bottom one.

If you drop the down pipe the passenger side is real easy.

The other thing I did was pretighten everything on the bench and then install them so I did not have to mash the donuts as much with all the extensions stuck together.
