Sounds like your OK. At Mercruiser service school they say it should slid in and out with a couple of fingers around the shaft. Are we still talking about boats?

The tool has to bottom out easily and You should be able to remove the tool with very slight pulling.

The roll then engine 180 degrees and check it again to be sure the coupler is centered on the flywheel, some are not.

I found when they are right when the tool is pushed in rather fast will bounce back a little, if too tite it will have no rebound
