Default Need help with APR rear diffuser install

If anyone can help me that would be great.

Stuck on step 8 where you have to attach the rear diffuser to the rear mounting points with the M6x25 bolt. It mentions that the bolt should be on the diffuser side but when you put the diffuser in place it blocks any access to the other side of the bolt where the nut and the washer should be. i.e. I can't get any tool on the other side of the diffuser when it is in place to hold the nut.


__
i
i
-----------
o

o = head of bolt
i = thread of bolt
__ = nut

-------- = diffuser

thats the best I can do to describe whats going on LOL

Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out

Not any help, but what exhaust do you have, and how does it clear it? Thanks!

from what i remember, you just have to reach around the diffuser to tighten those bolts. then again the car i was installing it on had an aftermarket exhaust.

you can always reverse the bolt so that the nut is on the bottom, but it wont look as clean...

When I installed mine, it helped taking the exhaust tips off for extra room.
