Wilsons Sandbox

Spread it with a large screwdriver until you can grab one side with channel locks. Then put the screwdriver in and spread some more against the channel locks. The word for the day is "clamps" spread the word.

Use two screwdrivers. #2 phillips is about the right diameter. Poke one into the bolt hole from the left, poke the other in from the right. The two screwdriver tips meet at the center. Spread'em, but no wider than necessary. Force the clamp over the bar (just enough to spring over the bar). If you're anal, first wrap some tape around the bar to protect the paint, then remove the tape before you squeeze it back down. Go bust bark.
