The other thing to be careful of is that the cup is going squarely
into the bore of the yoke. If it isn't, the (rather sharp) leading
edge of the cup can carve its own way for a small distance, ruining
the bore, and making itself painfully tight. Bores should be smooth
and round. Otherwise you get the problem that Richard speaks of, and
it only gets worse.
