Hi. Can I have an idea? Insert a smooth rod with the same OD as the clamp bolt through the knuckle from the opposite side that you are planning to insert the bolt. When this is done, use the bolt to push the rod out -- the rod should maintain the alignment and preserve the bolt's threads. And, of course, if the rod won't go, you know the bolt won't either.
