yesss!!! thanks everyone i managed to get it in finally just now!! I listened to your advice and just lined it up and pushed with all my might and it just slid right in. You really have to push it... and my arm got a nasty bruise from the LCA but whatever its in!! i've never had so much trouble before. Well off to testing. if you all need help, just ask i'll try to help with the install as much as i can. Thanks again!

I picked them both up and we used the Vice Grips (I'll show where in a picture) but didn't know how/when to use the allen wrench
You can usually break it free without using the allen wrench but generally need it to remove the nut completely. When I installed mine I was able to break one side free without using the allen wrench and had to use it on the other side.

Glad you finally got it. Enjoy the ride!!

I tried again today and failed. Tomorrow's the appointment I had scheduled with a performance shop. I did a write-up with pics here: http://shahryar.net/2011/03/14/faile...y-2008-is-350/
