Engine Reassembly (coolant question)

I had to get in the most awkward position ever with a 6" extension swinging the air ratchet all the way around the alternator and sideways to finally get it.

Then the crossover went on with 0 problems.

Now for the rear plugs... Got one out. The other 2 (outsides) seemed to... Contort or bend.
 


you've truly lost me, the egr bolt is no where near the alternator. carry on, at least you got what ever you wanted to get done done lol
 
Next time.. just lean over the motor with your 10mm deep on a normal sized 3/8" ratchet. Should be quick and easy on a stock manifold. Headers..well I find 1/4" with a swivel etc work best.
 
Although..I am a bit cornfused as to why the rear manifold was off or the EGR wasn't bolted on when the engine was dropped into the cradle.
 


The rear manifold was never off, and the engine was never lifted. I'm doing all of this with the block in.

I'm getting there... Slowly, but... Unsurely.
