TPI Fuel Inj Removal Question

I was reading the Tech Article on TPI FI Removal and step 9 states,

"Remove the lower runner-to-manifold bolts, using the T-40 socket. There are 6 per side. **One bolt per side is hidden and only accessed from inside the manifold area. The one for the passenger side is accessed near the thermostat housing area, and the one for the driver.s side is accessed between the fuel pressure regulator and the distributor. Having a good selection of extensions and a ¼. air ratchet makes removing that driver.s side one easy. LEAVE the bolts in the manifold, it will make it easier than trying to put them back in later "

I do not understand how you are supposed to leave them in if you are taking them out. Maybe I am just not seeing the light here but if someone could clear this up for me I would really appreciate it.

If the bottom two holes on each side of the runners are open or u shaped, you can leave those bolts in & hook the runner over them when you reinstall. It's easier than fishing the bolts in with the runner in place.

AHHHHHHH....... I knew there was something I was missing. I will look at mine tonight and see if they are U-shaped or open.

Thanks Rick
