Top or bottom bolt? If it's the bottom, did you pull the O2 sensor out? I had to pul it before I could get to the bolt, plus long ext's help.

Yep, remove the O2 sensors and use a swivel to get around the conveters. The O/R pipe will be much easier to get on without those in the way. Just a hint, when tightening up the O/R pipe to the headers, draw the flanges up evenly. Not both sides together, but both nuts on the flange. This will keep it from leaking. Same on the rear at the pipe connections.
