I lay the seat upside down, got a 3 or 4 ft pole, wrapped a length of wire
around the pole and each diaphragm hook in turn, put a lump of timber
between the bottom of the pole and the side of the seat, stood on the seat
bottom, and levered the top of the pole away from me till the end of the hook
was over the hole.
