Are you sure that the nut on the installation tool is doing the pressing and not the threaded rod moving into the crank? Proper use is hand-tighten the threaded rod all the way in the crank and then exclusively work with the nut. I would stack a few more washers/spacers under the nut and see if you get further. Also make sure the crank snout and pulley inside are clean, smooth, and free of any debris.
Good luck.
