Guys this video was shit, but it's really simple to do. You have to unscrew those 2 screws with an alan wrench, place the the bottle cage over them and just return the screws over the cage into the bike.

I broke one of these screws off in the frame trying to tighten up a water bottle cage. How can I get it out?
