Head doctor fitting issues

Rolling Thunder

Hi has anyone had any problems getting one of these buggers to fit, I have the wedge dangling down, it just looks too wide for the steerer tube, id say about 1mm, are big grippers required to really squeeze in the o ring part?? The YouTube video has the guy just push it in with his fingers! I think I could beat it with a hammer and it would just mash the fitting, which is tempting!!! Any tips appreciated.

Simple. Hold in hand and then launch it as far as you can. Then fit a star nut. Done
