    I had a similar thing happen where the tool slipped when I was removing the shim which caused everything to jamb up. It was very difficult to get the seat compressed again to get the shim out at that point.

    That did actually cross my mind. Like, what if the hold down tool gave out while I had the shim out... How would you or what would you compress to get the shim back in?
