Are you recommending that the pinion be pressed onto the motor shaft while the shaft is still in the motor? I wonder if the motor bearings are designed to withstand such an axial load without sustaining damage... especially since small machining tolerances for the press fit can result in large variations in required press force.

If the shaft is not removed from the motor, a shrink fit might be a safer approach.
