I'm having a problem fitting the KA pressure plate on the CA flywheel. I removed the pin that needs to cme out, got all the holes lined up, etc. But theres a problem, most of the bolts will fit fine but a few of the holes on the flywheel are little too far in toward the center of the flywheel for the bolts to go in straight. Kinda hard to see in the pic but I couldn't get a good picture of it. On top of that the pressure plate hangs over the side of the flywheel a few millimeters all the way around. Anyone ever had these problems before? It looks like if I removed all the pins I might be able to get all the bolts in.

I had the same problem, I had to drill the holes out larger on almost all of them.
