I tried it both ways. First with hitting the crank, and pry on it. 2nt with the cap its self. cap didn't move either way. The studs seam to fit the cap better then bolts. a standard bolt is .445" in diamitor and then at the vary top, next to the head, it grows to .496" my new studs are .496 all the way through.

where is your starting clearance? first off when you installed the upper bearing shells, did you oil/assembly lube the face of the bearing (crank side)? then install the crank and spin it, should have almost no resistance, very easy by hand. then install the other half of the shells and caps, and snug , then 25ft lbs tq. check again to see if it spins easily. now check end play, minimum is .004 good is .005-.007.
