Default Pilot Bushing Install

Installing Pilot Bushing in my 68-327 and this one is fighting me. In past when installed in other vehicles they have tapped in tight.. but this one is a fighter. Currently It is about 3/32 from being flush with crank shaft. I am afraid to keep hitting it (using socket and hammer) for fear that I will blunt the end. Please let me know, should I pull this one try another bushing see if it goes in or is it "good to go" as is. Thank you for your help.

Thank everyone.. I got it to bottom out.
