I just used a drift and went around the gear tapping it till it was flush. Was going to use a big socket but all my tools are locked up at work. Its getting closer and closer to being done though. :mrgreen:

you really want to hit it even all around at once.

Piece of pipe and wood? Something ... be creative .. :)

I have a peice of 3" PVC that is about 6" long witha cap on the one end ( end you hit hammer ).

Heat the gear with a torch for 2-3 minutes, HOLD WITH PLIERS! slide it on the crank and 1-2 taps it will seat.

Just like the crank hub, you don't want to be using heavy blows to make parts fit.
