This is a pain in the ass to put it mildly. Numerous "tips" float the internet but none really work - at least not to the extend that harming yourself in the process or damaging other parts of the bike are unlikely.
Now I found this ingenious simple mechanism on the German RE forum - easy to make and easy to understand why it solves this problem.
It was designed by the user "Guido" who uses the nom-de-guerre "Dieselfieber".
The threaded rod is rotatably mounted in the lower clamping block and the upper clamping block has an internal thread. Using an open-end wrench, you can push the two clamping blocks apart via the hex nuts.
