I have a Cleveland squeezer and a few different yokes. I use it a lot and it's worked great. While squeezing #4 rivets on the rear spar of my right wing, I noticed the rivets were not squeezing straight. I was having a hard time not clinching them and the shop heads were angled. I thought I just wasn't holding the squeezer square to the material. Ended up drilling out a bunch and redoing them.
Now I'm riveting the wing ribs to the rear spar and I'm having the same problems. I noticed that my yokes seem to have a lot of movement in them when I rock them back and forth. I'd estimate maybe an 1/8 inch or so. I think that's what's causing my issues, but I don't know what's changed. I took out the quick change pins and replaced the rubber O-rings, but that doesn't seem to have helped. I don't see any damage or obvious reason for the yokes rocking. I emailed Cleaveland to get some advice, but I haven't heard back yet.
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas how to improve the movement in the yokes?
