Thumbs down Crank pulley/damper installation problem

I started the engine today, let it idle a bit. I noticed the crank pulley was on crooked :S

I remember when I put it on, it had a 45 degree seat at the beginning of it, but it seemed like it was an interference fit for it to go on the hub.

I tried tightening it so all 3 bolts are fastened down equally, but of course the engine being turned over as well was not making it easier, but they do tighten down.

Could I spray some WD40 and hit it with a hammer to help it go on further in?

your pulley is crooked on the hub or is your hub crooked on the crankshaft?

I looked at a pic of a pulled installed on the hub, its supposed to go in fully on the protruding snouth of the hub. Its straight and true now
