I have a set of knuckles to install and the wood core is slightly narrower than the slot (it reaches the bottom).

Just turn them around, so that the jack will hit virgin territory after they are replaced in the groove. (Unless there is something else wrong with them) If you notice, it is the front half that gets worn in a knuckle. S.P. -- </BODY> </HTML>
