I've got about 1/4" gap between the wheel and the 20 degree Teleflex bezel on my console - it didn't want to go any further down and I didn't want to force it in case this was normal. You can (sorta) see what I mean in this picture: http://www.whalercentral.com/userphot...to_id=1240

Should I take the cap back off the wheel and force it down... rubber mallet?

It's both normal and needed - you have to get a puller in there to remove the wheel.
