Cliff,
Use store bought 7/16" bolts when doing the initial fitting.. don't use the
bolts that came with the kit as these are NAS close tolerance bolts and will
require some force to get in. You only use these when you mate the wings
for the final time. A lot of builders stick them in the freezer overnight
to get them to shrink just a bit and then use some lubricant to put them
in.

NAS bolts into the spar.
I used the NAS bolts - ordered 8 more - just to get the holes to open up a
microscopic amount so that when it should be time to put the wings on it
should not be too much of a hassle.
My method was to use Boelube and press down on the bolts as I turned them
back and forth with a wrench. I did not use a mallet except for those bolts
that went in easily.
I figure that the holes were machine to fit the NAS bolts however the
anodizing process built up a layer of oxide which made the hole a hair
smaller. By forcing the NAS bolt in with rotating motions, some of the oxide
is stripped off thereby making the hole just a bit larger.
Very unscientific but I believe it should enable me to get the bolts in more
easily when putting the wings on.
