How do you mate the FP pinion gear to the BB550 without the pinion gear slipping on the BB550 shaft? It's a press-fit onto the FP motors (even looks like there's axial scoring on the FP shaft and pinion gear), yet I can slide it onto the BB550 shafts with my fingers.

I've done my darndest to find the answer so we can order the appropriate gearboxes (or use our current AM-FP planetaries) with BB550's, yet we may also go down the BB775+Dewalt route.
