I now believe it is a Rohn 45 not a 25.  It could well be they were
bolted too tight before.  They just don't fit easily (even with a bit of
force).  That's why I was thinking of opening up the sleeve (coupler) a
little - I do have a honing tool which I could use.  But was curious to
know what the design specs were - i.e. how much gap there should really
be between sleeve and leg.  Maybe someone with a Rohn 45 will be able to
say.

I have found it difficult to put them together on the ground (laying 
parallel to the ground), but pretty easy when building them vertical.  I

just rock the upper section a little, and they slide right in. You might
have a problem if they were bolted down too tight previously, and 
are no longer perfectly round.
