These are new uni. joints. Caps are the same size, I will attempted to clean the seats on the yoke.
Are the straps normall strong enought to draw the caps completly into the seat of the yoke?
yes they are. once you get all four bolts started, take turns on each one alternating sides turning them in a few threads at a time. they should go on relatively easy. if its binding up, something is wrong. dont force it and strip out the yoke...
