There isn't a specific size C-clamp listed when installing SuperSprings # SSA43 but something that has about at least a 4 inch gap between the upper and lower ends of the clamp, when fully opened, would be sufficient. Basically it is used to bend the spring a little at the rear to be able to finish the installation.
