Brief Description:  Squeeze trailing edge top main wing skins.

The squeezer did a nice job on both the most training edge line of rivets and the most inboard line of rivets.

Problem though. See image 2 and 3. The skin rivets at the inboard end are behind the doubler plates. How the heck can you squeeze these. Well, easy, I used my no hole yoke in the HAND squeezer. There is actually room but you need fine squeeze control getting the yoke in position to do the final squeeze. No way could I have done this with the pneumatic squeezer.

Any time the yoke needs to be actuated a bit, then moved, you should use the hand squeezer. Worked perfect. No problem. Perfect shop heads in this area.
