Oil pump drive shaft

It is so tight you can't even get it that far down. You shouldn't have to turn the crank at all. normally you can twist these with a screw driver right into place.

Both the bushing and the shaft are brand new. Can one be clearanced a little? Or Can I just hammer it the shaft iin and out a few times to work the bushing in?

*****Please someone Help, This is the only thing stopping my motor from finally being done!********
