Are they supposed to require that level of force to get the clamps around the flanges? It doesn't seem like it considering the instruction say I have to clock them prior to tightening the clamps. There is no way to rotate the WG once the flange is tight and you still can't get the bolt through.

I clamped that sucker together with a channel lock. LOL It was tight for me too. That's the way I like it.
