Anyone have any tips on how to actually get the wheel seal (behind the knuckle) seated flush on 2006 Tacoma, V6? I’ve spent hours trying everything—piece of wood, center cap, you name it—and still can’t get it all the way in. It’s driving me crazy and completely stalling my progress. Now I’m thinking I may have to tear the other side apart too since it’s not fully seated.

Or am I overthinking this and it’s good enough as is? Any thoughts or tips?
