If they are pinched together at the top, you would need to open them up before trying to measure the interior diameter of the tube.
I dont have this tool no ! It did went in very easily. It should tight very well too. Didnt had to touch it at all. Sorry for the ****ty picture , frame isnt done yet. He isnt pinched no , ive saw this happen in a video , im watching a few tutorials on restoring bike, but dont hesitate to give me hints on whats good to look for on mine i appreciate. Will post some further pictures of the progress if there's interest too.
