I find that the Nitto stem pry tool is quite helpful in carefully spreading the 
clamp to get bars into place and reduce scratching.Rivendell used to sell it, 
but they don't seem to stock it any longer. Kinda' pricey, but worth it, in my 
book. Here's one quick source I found, but you might be able to find it cheaper 
elsewhere:

 Subject: [RBW] choco clamp size
   
GreetingsI'm somewhat baffled by the clamp size on a used choco-norm I picked 
up here on the list.From what I read, the bar is sized at 25.4mm, however I 
seem to only be able to get my 26.0 stems around it. Further the bar as I 
purchased it has scratches all around it from, what looks like, attempting to 
install it on a stem that's too narrow for it.
Did the earlier choco's come in a 26.0mm sleeve size?
Thank you--
