front suspension help
I just replaced my inner axle seals on my F100 4x4 (front dana 44). To give me more room to remove the center section I removed the track bar from the right side (passenger) and positionedit up out of the way. Now trying to reassemble things I find that the bar is about 1/2 inch short of reaching the large bolt to reattach. Needless to say it's a large bar and I don't know the procedure to get it back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this job has been a nightmare for me from the start. 
Thanks
Thanks

So I just went back out and crawled underneath to get the idea of what your suggesting. I attach the rachet strap to the drivers's side frame and back to the passenger side of the axle, probably behind the rotor area and draw it over to where I can attach it? I need to move it about 1/2 inch towards the driver's side. Thanks for helping me out!

Thanks for all the help. I used a rachet strap as suggested, it popped in all by itself! I would have been tearing things down further without your suggestions. Thanks again, it's all back together with new inner axle seals, U-joints, bearings, and one new hub.
