No cuts, wasnt even bulging. Shit the Clamp was a 2.75 - to like 2.89 or whatever and the clamp was like ummm 65-70% tightened then BAM and i was like OH SHIT... pounded it out the best I could. =(

I'll remember to use the good ol' left hand for tightening tbolt clamps from now on. That right hand will kill ya, the left one doesn't get any action.
