[Dangerous Doug]

I used a lot of lubricant, of course, but I also used some Irwin clamps. These clamps can be found at your local hardware store. They are blue with yellow clamp surfaces--which are soft, so they won't scrath up the powder-coating. They have a pistol grip, so you can release them easily, and tighten them by pulling the "trigger".

I was able to use these without the requisite swearing and banging usually associated with installing A-arms.

My first attempts, though, were spent "just about getting the arm on..." and then the other side would slip. The clamps allowed me to approach the problem methodically, and without teaching my son any new words (he learned them anyway...).
