New balancer won’t press on

I always use the guidelines in the link I posted for damper fit. I mic the crank snout to make sure not tapered or out of round. Once I'm satisfied I'll put the mic on the crank and lock it down. Then I take my mic to the machine shop and they use it to set up their machine. My machine shop uses a Sunnen rod hone to hone dampers. I've never had an issue doing it this way.
