Brief Description:  Continue fussing with squeezer

Fricken' squeezer! Once again don't every buy some antique surplus pneumatic tool from the aircraft industry. The pneumatics work fine now, but the damn plunger easily gets wonky in the yoke and doesn't retract. Drilled out slightly the yoke mounting holes to allow a little more freedom there but that didn't help. Really tightened the damn yoke attachment bolts but the squeezer easily moves the yoke in the squeezer, jamming the plunger and preventing its retraction. #$!@*!!

N.B. Decided I'll have to position the yoke properly in the squeezer body, clamp everything, drill both yoke and squeezer oversize, then put in a close-tolerance bolt. Later.
