HELP Please

I just installed a wicked wheel, and have the turbo housing back on. I'm trying to re-attach the wastegate but I can't get it back on. I followed videos to do this and I took it off the housing by removing the 2 nuts on the back. Well now I can't pull it out far enough to drop it back into the holes. How can I get this back on? If I take the clip off the other end is it going to still line up after I get the nuts back on? None of these videos showed them putting it back on, I guess I know why now. I need some quick advice on how to do this please. I'm so close to being done but so far....

do you have and air compressor if so take a blow gun and hold it an inch or two away from the end of the nipple and apply a little air very very very little amount of air and it should extend out far enough for you to get it on- no more than 5PSI.

Just tried what you said. It moves a little but it still wont go enough to get it back on. It feels like it's bottomed out. I'm going nuts and it's hotter than Haiti here right now!!!
