PLEASE HELP
Ok so i'm NEARLY done with putting on my new rear and i ran into one tiny thing which is the only reason why im not on the road. Where the torque arm connects in the front, by the transmission, it goes into a rubber kinda holder thingy majiger. There are two bolts on the bottom and one on the top. The bastard at the top wont go in, i was at it for hours. AND NO ITS NOT SOME STUPID MISTAKE LIKE A STRIPPED BOLT!
If anyone has dealt with this any input would be much appreciated, or even if they wanted to stop by for a little 
Thank you!

This is the same TQ arm you took out right, or are you using a different one. Some of them were reversed in the front.

Heh...you shouldn't have ever taken it off the transmission.
That top bolt is a royal PITA to get back in once it's out. I had to drop the trans crossmember and lower the trans slowly on a floorjack. If you go that route, watch out for your distributor cap as you are lowering the trans.

nevermind lol, i got it, thanks for all the help. I couldnt see up in there but i could put the top bolt in without that stupid rubber piece so i knew the trans was lined up then i tightened the bottom ones, took out the top and very slowly got the top bolt in
I'd say, just dont mess with it
