Toilet bowl spring clamp install tips needed...

[doubt at inwave.com (Nate Mellom)]

I used that method on my '84 long ago, before I knew someone else had 
already done it.  Works like a charm!  Just make sure the upper shackle 
is centered on the clamp (might even want to grind a flat section on it) 
so it doesn't pop off sideways.  When you get those to full extension, 
there is a LOT of pressure built up.
