Long tube header install help

So I’m half way done my LTH install but I can’t figure out a way to tighten back up that bolt on top of the engine mounts that hold the heat shielding on top of engine mounts cause I took them off to help with the header clearance. Any tips and pointers anyone? Thanks ahead

It was a while ago but I did the same thing when I installed my headers. Pretty sure I just used a combo box end - open end wrench. I got the bolt as tight as I could with my fingers and tightened it down with short turns with the wrench as best I could.

thanks for the fast reply. I’ll give it another shot. Might have to cut one of my wrenches in half

When i was about to do the same, my big hands and forearms wouldn´t let me.
So i just moved the engine sideways as much as i could, the engine mounts were off so it was an easy task.
Then i could reach them quite easily.
The hard part for me was to get the oems off.
