I have installed a bunch of gears on 775 motors with a really cheap cheap vice. Use two people to sight the motor to be sure that it is square with the gear (one from the side, one from the top) and you should be all set.

If your vice has a grippy diamond grid cut into the surface, you may want to put a piece of aluminum angle on each jaw, hanging down into the vice jaws so that you can push on a flat surfaces.

YMMV.
