Re: Failed pinion gear install: AM-2195 to BaneBots P60
For a light press fit, a little light machine oil should be used. This helps to prevent galling between the surfaces as they slide together. Heating them until red hot and letting them cool down without quenching would soften/normalize any previous heat treatment. There are 'air hardening' tool steels, but it properties wouldn't be useful for gears.
Also make sure you are pressing against the opposite end of the motor shaft and not the motor body.

In fact, one of our volunteers just found out about the entire FIRST program two weeks ago and had so much fun on Thursday that he came back on Friday to help us again! - KathieK [more]
