Stop the presses! Is your bolt facing UP??? WTF@! That is totally opposite of the photo that was posted earlier where the bolt faces downwards.
In the photo, how the F would you thread this bolt through the nut up in the cavity?
Do you now understand what I was saying, and what that's basically impossible?
This is a great example of why this stuff takes 2 hours to learn online vs. 60 seconds mins. if you had someone show you in real life.
What's the right way? To put the bolt facing upwards like you said,or to make the bolt point down like in the photo.
If you make it point down, there's no way in hell you're getting a wrench and nut above that hole and threading the bolt through it before it pops down through the hole.

Ant that way is possible too.
Just no nut on a wrench. See the problem is too many people chimes in and wires got crossed.
Either way is possible.

Sorry, I'm not b/c what you're describing is basically impossible. This makes absolutely no sense. In the photos posted, the bolt is facing DOWN. How the heck do you put a bolt through a nut that is jammed into a tiny space that doesn't fit your hand?????? There is a small "crawl space" ABOVE the hole in the unibody (or frame, or whatever the F it's called). You are saying to put a nut UP in there inside a box wrench. Then you're supposed to fish a bolt ALSO up in that little space ABOVE the frame, and magically thread your bolt thru a nut that you can't even SEE? Then,once the bot is wrenched thru the nut, the bolt can then drop down thru the hole in the frame, and then stick out and point down like in the photo? BOTH the nut and bolt are currently ABOVE the hole in the frame. How on earth are you supposed to turn the bolt (or even stand it up) while they are both in that tiny little cavity above the hole in the unibody/frame?

Im replacing my manifold right now and I got the manifold on but when I try to put the intake back on the dowel or pin in the back of the motor doesn't line up with the hole on the intake. I've tried grinding the hole a slight bit and having someone under guide me in. No luck. Any tips or something that worked for you? By the way it's a 98 with an APN header.

Watch the video!!!! A simple google search found this for me.

He basically has done everything already and just talks.
He doesn't show how you chisel the bolt out.
He doesn't say how you retrieve the busted out old bolt. (Do you just leave it and let it rattle there forever?)
He doesn't show how the heck you secure the bolt head when you try to spin a nut on.
He also talks into a pillow, just to make things extra clear.
Absolute rubbish pointless waste of time video.

This is quite possibly the most useless video I have ever seen.

Heres the steps:
Step 1: Beat the damn nuts and bolts out so you have a hole to put a new bolt through.
(how to do step 1..... Do whatever the f u c k you gotta do)
Step 2: Fish the wire through like the guy in the video says
Step 3: tighten the damn thing down.
