So, you're saying I've "gone past it, it will jam." And that widening the pinch bolt is "asking for trouble." So what's your recommendation? As to your original one: "Take the weight off, it will tap back down. trying to make a bridge to support it will not work as it has to move at an angle. I personally would use a piece of hardwood to use as a drift and tap in the angle of the strut,"
I have tried all of that. None of it worked.
So (repeating myself), what would your recommendation be?
I considered this: I've got a couple of C-clamps that would seem appropriately sized: Why couldn't I just put one on each side of the strut (ie 180 degrees apart). For each, one clamp face against the bottom of the strut, the other against the top of the wheel carrier (right next to the strut). Then crank a little on each clamp, alternating sides frequently. And thereby close the gap.
Who thinks that would work?
