Sounds to me like something is really wrong. You should never have to force or compress anything.
Just my two cents worth.
Bob, Thanks for you input but the 1947 Packard manual states that in order to remove the pressure plate the springs must be depressed and 3/8" nuts placed under each finger in order for the plate to be removed. I have never encountered this procedure with any vehicle before but obviously this in necessary with at least the 356" engine Packards since this procedure is not mentioned in the 1951-54 Service Manual or the MOTORS manual that I have also. There was absolutely no way that the clutch pressure plate could be installed easily without compressing the pressure plate springs. The disc is correctly installed and once the springs were depressed and the nuts installed the assembly went in with plenty of room.
