Viv is right, the BB540 shaft is smaller than the FP. If you try to press that on you will have a disaster.


An arbor press is the best and safest way. See if a local machine shop will let you use theirs, or most good auto repair shops will have one too.

If you decide to purchase one you wont regret it.
