Matt, yes it can go on with force. I just went through a replacement with
alex f assistance and purposely experimented to see how far off you can go
before there is an issue.
I used the drill bit trick as well and found the bit went through off a
tooth. There was more resistance, where force was required, but it would
go through off a tooth.
