Re: RS-550 and AndyMark am-0928 pinion

We had a similar issue with a pinion and the 9015 motor. I'm fairly certain we bent the motor shaft in the process of pressing the pinion.

The Fisher Price (0673) motors went on the pinion with no problem.

Is it better to drill the pinion out slightly or sand down the 9015 shaft ?
