Re: pushing a gear on a fp
Refer to the white paper here on CD that pertains to Nothing But Dewalts.

We (Team 47) have a fixture that aligns/guides the pinion from the Dewalt on to the shaft of the FP (we have the hole opened to exact size by wire EDM +0.0000 -0.0000). we then use an Arrbor press to press on.

It is very important to correctly support the motor and the shaft. Bad support means a bent shaft or damaged bearing/housing.

I am sure that we posted pictures if this fixture (Josh Murphy) did that a few weeks ago. If they are not up I will get them posted.
