I did not do anything to the splines but instead tried to press the gear straight on and heard the dreadful pop of the pinnion.

I turned the splines down to about 0.126 because of the high interference - I was kindof afraid of the brass pinion doing something like that. The splines bring the OD out to about 0.130, while BaneBots says the pinion is for a 0.125 shaft OD.
