Tool for spreading clevises
Having a problem getting your clevises connected, do as I did and make a simple tool.
using a small screw driver solder a small piece of brass to it and file both sides the width of a 4-40 clevis leaving small ears so it don't come off connecting it to your servo arm, I made mine 3/16" wide and it opens 2-56 & 4-40 clevises making it easy. You may half to squeeze it a bit with long nose pliers to get the clip on but it's no problem.
Just insert between clevis arms and twist.
