Congrats...it's nice to get the job under your belt...it will probably be a few years before you'll need to look at them again. If you didn't ream out the holes its probably no big deal, but if I were doing mine again I'd buy that special long reamer bit and do mine with it since it is the carbon in the hole that causes them to stick (or so the theory goes).

I had little trouble with the clamp once I learned to turn it so I could access the nut more easily...I don't recall the precise configuartion and maybe I just got lucky but I seemed to be able to tighten it from the side and get in on the first try.
