Al :

I was just reading that section of the Bentley last Saturday, it says to 
use a special tool to put pressure outwards on the rack clamps and at the 
same time use your fingers to put pressure the opposite direction on the 
plate that goes under the frame, while tightening the U-bolts.  I don't 
know how necessary the tool is, but it appears that they want more pressure 
on the clamp than you could make with your fingers.  Presumably, a lack of 
pressure will result in unwanted slop in the steering.  You could probably 
manage something creative with C-clamps, pry bars, etc.
