    No, you are supposed to hit them with the grease gun. Sometimes the installer makes them tight when pressing together by pushing the ears of the yoke too hard. I covered this on a pod cast moment. But you might pull the axle out put in in a vise and take a drift and give the end a couple of whacks with a BFH to spread them back out. Might be all it needs. Standard procedure when I install them myself.
