AMMRL: rod insertion problem

  I'm helping install a 200 at a small school.
It has a 24 year old Oxford NB which has been
resting for over a year. The shorting plug
required a firmer pull than I expected to
remove it at room temperature, but nothing
extraordinary. We can't insert either the
charging rod or the shorting plug. The big
pin doesn't fall into the big hole. We've
looked down the stack with a plumbers scope and
don't see any reason for it not to. Has anyone
ever had a problem like this?
  One of the shipping restraints for this magnet
is a tube with a threaded rod which is placed in
the charging stack and tightened like a wall
anchor. Could this distort the geometry of the
stack if overtightened?
 
thanks,

dave scott
