Step 7Clamp the Clamp
Grab your two hose clamps and the spring clamp. Slide the two hose clamps onto the 10" piece up top and slap the spring clamp on the top "side" of the horizontal pipe. Don't let go. The clamp will fall. Gravity works.
Slide the two hose clamps over the lower handle of the spring clamp and tighten said hose clamps with all your might. This is where the flat-head screwdriver comes in. Either that or a nut driver that fits the hex nut / flat-head screw. You know what? Use whatever it takes to get the hose clamps tight on the handle of the spring clamp. These have to be tight. They, along with the clamp, are what will hold your bike on the stand. If hose clamps aren't tight enough, when you put a bike in the spring clamp, it will rotate around and may fall off the stand. That's a long way for bike to fall, especially if you're under it.
