I purchased eight sections of used Rohn 25G last summer and it's finally
going up. While test fitting the sections, I find that I have one "stubborn"
section - it will not go onto nor will it accept any of the other sections
without the application of considerable force. (This seems like a strange
combination; one would think that if the "female" leg bottoms were smallish
vis a vis accepting "male" leg tops, then it's own leg tops would be
smallish, too, and easily accepted by the "other" sections.)

Since it's not a perfect world, there must be some customary means of
dealing with an errant section like this. Does one use clamps or a jack and
pulleys to exert the needed force?
