Question on replacement of steering idler bushing in 300TE

Is it OK to put in the bolt from bottom up, rather than top down
in the steering idler arm assembly in a 1989 300TE.
It is difficult to remove the bolt otherwise as I had to raise
the engine on the passenger side with the engine mount disconnected
on that side.
The muffler is in the way.  The only thing I can think of is if there is enough
clearance for the nut not hitting the muffler.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I wouldn''t do that myself...nope...I don''t think that would be a good idea.

of course I don''t know what you''re trying to do so maybe I should be quiet.  what are you trying to do anyway?
