Unhappy Help W/ Headers Install!!

wassup to all!! well, i had a thread not to long ago about whether i should upgrade my headers or not. with the advise of of many folks out-there, i went ahead and ordered them. received them a couple of days ago from RRM, i tried to see if i could do it myself(not too bright when it comes to car mechanics and stuff). removing the heatshield, 02 sensor, and the top bolts were not a problem, but i can't seem to reach the bottom nuts! the fact that i lack some tools didn't help either. i'm such a retard that i'm the only one having difficulty with this while everyone else who say they're not to mechanically inclined, say "it was a breeze to install..."!! YEAH RIGHT...NOT ME!! is this something that i need to have a real auto mechanic install or is there hope yet for me...

The real tricky nut is the far bottom left one on the manifold. It took me an hour just to figure out how to get to it, and an hour to actually get to it and unscrew the damn thing.

i think that bottom left nut is easier to get at if you remove the alternator bolts.
