Dave,

You are correct.

Most of us do-it yourself guys, however, don't have a handy lift.  The
cut clamp method, allowing the half-circle to rotate down on the cable,
is simple and cures the problem of access on a lift (where you probably
still need a wobble extension) or on jack-stands.

You are lucky to have access to a lift.

The better of the two solutions offered is the "fall-in-place" design,
represented by the o^ symbol.  The "o" is the bolt hole/pivot center.
The "^" is the half circle cut into the hold down ring such that it
swings into place.  This requires a dry fit, with the clamp pivoted
above the hole, so that the cut of the hold ring can be made to allow a
pivot around the bolt hole to slide over the cable groove.  Sorry my
typewriter has no better symbols, although vertically positioned, it
might look like a question mark "?"
