QUESTION: How do you guys with hiems running 5/8" bolt sthrew the knuckle get rid of the taper to eliminate the bolt floping in the taper? cant Find any inserts that are made to do this for a straight bolt. All are tappered.... the hole is bigger then 5/8 or I would just drill it.... had I known this I would have gone with a bigger hiem and ran 3/4" bolts...
