Default Turbonetics Wastegate install ?

Ok. I bought the Turbonetics kit for my 03z and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install the bolts to connect the wastegate to the discharge flange . I can reach the driver side bolt with a looong extention on a ratchet, but I have NO idea how to get the other one in. I tried to do it by hand - no luck, and the ratchet extention doesnt seem to fit around the piping. So anyone who has done this install please please please chime in.

Thx

Yeah, and I didn't do the install but from looking underneath and trying to take it off to add shims (which I ended up not being able to do)... It is a pain in the rear.

Wish Nissan would have given us a little more room lol.
