Has anyone had to squeeze the split in the u-joint that goes on the pinion shaft of the rack with a vise to get the u-joint to tighten up with the bolt? The bolt will not draw the u-joint together enough to clamp on the shaft. Is squeezing it in a vise to get it close enough for the bolt to work safe? Or would it be better to use a u-joint with a set screw instead? Pinion shaft is about .012" undersize from 9/16".
Thank you
