Again, that was the only way I could get mine unstuck. 

Maybe I made it sound more dangerous than I should have... it really was 
no big deal, a couple of minutes, worked first time, the problem was 
solved and never recurred.

BTW, after I posted I realized that it wasn't quite like I described -- 
I did not have my wife "push the car off the jack" -- I used a standard 
floor jack and had her twist the release to abruptly drop the jack.  Did 
use a piece of wood between the saddle and the lift point so the saddle 
didn't get hung up on anything.
