I was looking at the Inventor files and it shows the shaft that is connected to the piston and the piece that pushes the bearings as two separate pieces. However it shows that the shaft that goes to the piston has a recessed and the piece that pushes the bearings has an ID equal to the diameter of the recessed. I hope that is understandable.

Anyway my question is how are you going to insert one in the other?
Yes, that is true about the model. The model is not quite correct in that the larger end piece of the inner shaft (the one attached to the cylinder) will be removable. The reason the shaft is two pieces is so that the larger spool will be centered with springs on the smaller inner shaft, which will allow it to lag a little when it pushes the balls outwards which make shifting easier.
