if so leave it there, put the flywheel in the shaft and tighten the nut...

youll need to hold the flywheel with channel locks to get the nut tight is what he means...

the nut will force the flywheel onto the collet
yes, the collet alone slides onto the shaft fine all the way when its alone, but not when the collet is in the flywheel, the flywheel makes it close a little bit (obviously) and thats stopping it from fitting onto the shaft.

Ill go try the nut trick now.
