vibration damper

How do you install the vibration damper on a gm 3.0 L? Manual says to pull it on with crank bolt but this crankshaft is not threaded! Afraid to press on crank with port-a-power and cause internal damage/ same thing for hammering it on. We thought about warming it up in the oven but we are worried about melting the rubber. Any help would be appreciated.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
