12 bolt setup woes

[makoshark]

I'm curious if anyone has had problems fitting a new yoke onto a new pinion? I'm having trouble getting my Moser yoke to slide down enough on the new Motive pinion. I wonder if I take the pinion and set it up on my press and press on the yoke and pull it back off if that would free it up a bit to get it to slide down further by hand?
