Don't force it tho. That soft NDS bolt can be damaged pretty easily if you really get after it. Also, you can damage the splines on the NDS crank if it's not lining up right w/ the splines on the spindle. Lots of grease, and some patience should do ya.

The machined bearing surface just inside of the spider, where the drive side of the spindle makes contact w/ the inside of the drive side bb cup bearing can be tight. They've made the tolerances tight to avoid play on that side. Sometimes it takes a couple of light taps with a rubber mallet to get the drive side crank / bb spindle assembly to slide all the way into the bb.
