Drive shaft to tight in gimbal bearing?

Drive shaft to tight in gimbal bearing?
I have a new IMCO gimbal + ext.box (BRAVO).
I have used the alignment tool that went in very smothly.
When I try to mount the drive back the driveshaft goes in untlil it reaches the surface where the gimbal bearing touch the shaft. From there it stops and it is not possible with "normal" force to push the drive into place. I tried my old short driveshaft (that dont reach into the splines) and it is the same so it canīt be bad alignment. How much force is needed to push the driveshaft into a new gimbal bearing?Iīm afraid I wonīt get the drive off if I push it in with the force needed.

Mine does it every once in a while, just doesnt want to go back in. Make sure it has plenty of grease on the drive shaft and reach in the bellows and grease the bearing and make sure every thing feels normal sometimes the gimbal bearing will get a little tweaked
