Yikes...

So I just got a brand new frame w/BB30. I sent builder bearing assembly and he pressed bearings in prior to delivery.

...frame looks great/bearings seem fine, but I can't for the life of me get the crank assembly through bearings. I tapped medium hard w/mallet, but I'm a bit chicken to really crank it.

How easy should it be to slide the deal together? It's a SRAM Red crankset with the integrated slide through portion on the drive side.

I'm sooo excited and a bit deflated to not be able to get the crank together.
