I had the same problem. I also managed to get the bracket part of it bolted between the engine and tranny, so I had to loosen the bolts again Just keep fighting with it dude.

Yep.... a PITA. Patience grasshopper. Up, down, twist, cuss, rinse and repeat. No real trick that I have found anyway.

If you can get someone to push from the top while you are underneath the truck to guide it into place it is easy.
