Re: Fitting P60 Gear on 775pro

Is there a proper way to get this gear on the 775pro?
When pressing on pinions (gears) or pulleys, we created a recess in a tube so that the 775 fits in there. Also took a round rod and supported the back shaft, took this assembly to the arbor press and bam, pinions pressed perfectly everytime.
