Looking at this image you will notice on the "clam" bracket there is an additional piece on the top. This piece should have been bent to hold together the "clam" bracket during installation. The way to do this is put the bracket on the bar, close it, and use a pair of pliers and bend this piece over as to hold the bracket to the bar. This way the installation of the bar becomes less of a &*%#@. The worse part is trying to get the bolt to drill into the threading of the nut, and an additional hand to hold all pieces is necessary. This way you're not trying to hold/tighten the bracket and drill the bolt into the nut, which is asinine. (Which is what I ended up doing, spending loads of time on.)

The reason I did not bend it is that I took it on and off several times and did not want to have to bend it back. A needle nose vise grip works better anyway.
The last hole on the bar is the softest setting.
