Is there something that's keeping the tool from seating all the way in the bore? I always use anti-seize when pressing things together. Some on the threads and some between the parts being pressed together.

No everything looks ok i got anti seize, so the set screw that goes into the big screw for pressing on keeps stripping out the threads in that big screw

I've never used one of those. Can you use a nut from Home Depot or something?

Im gonna try a block with hole in it and a 8mm bolt If not. I need to find directions on taking snought off and pressing it on i guess
