Well, now I'm really confused. The earlier directions said to
tighten the tensioning nut, not loosen it. In my admittedly limited experience, stretching a saddle with too much tension is fatal. "Tight" is indeed a relative term, but "...now is the time to crank on the tension nut at the nose and stretch the baby as much as you can. Don't be shy" doesn't sound to me like a judicious increase in tension.
Not trying to be argumentative, just seeking clarity and suggesting that some caution might possibly be in order.
