Suggestions for easier AOS installation

clickman...you had a great writeup. It helped me a lot. I'd like to add some comments.

1) The middle clamp is much easier to remove after you disconnect the lower (bellows hose) clamp first and can pull the AOS almost out. Then, you can easily grip it.

2) I used some baby Vice Grips for the lower (bellows hose) clamp. I may have just lucked out as I snagged the clamp the first time. I ordered some remote clamp removers and they didn't work worth a damn.

3) I used the same type of clamp for the lower bellows, but had a little plastic handle holding the clamp open. You can buy both a new clamp and the plastic handle for way under $10 on ebay.

Otherwise, thanks!
