I called Empi. The guy told me that I had to push really hard on the wheel. He
said he heard somepeople use a socket to force it down but he wouldnt recommend
it cause it might split the wheel. He said I should try if at worst..taking a
socket..and driving it down with my fingers. Empi rep said it's a real tight
fit and possible massaging the cap would do the trick...I'll post the results
after i get off work today...thanks for the help!

Mine is a compu fire. I was pretty sure it was not going to work, I
called Kermit (at ASK imports, where I purchased it) told him the
problem I was having. He told me to push the wheel down on the shaft
with a socket big enough to fit over the dizzy shaft and press on the
wheel. I told him I was afraid to push any harder for fear of breaking
it. He said to make sure it was lined up correctly and to push "real
hard" and if it broke he would replace it. I pushed it down on there
and now it works.
When I got the compu fire the only question was "with vac advance or
not"
