I also showed her the proper way to make sure it was clamped on.....
I am glad I have a wife who can do things like flush the minivans transmission and all. If a bike wan't clamped down right in our household it would be because of me not her. She is the one who installed the hitch reciever for the rack in the first place.
My wife is one of those gals who decided that women needed to be smarter mechanically than men...that way they wouldn't get screwed at the car dealership.
