Message: [QUOTE="Zeb, post: 1522118, member: 30304"] Correct, I push against the gear. The retainer is way too weak to withstand the pressure to take the gear off. When I press the gear on, I drop the press bed all the way down, stack the plates on top of each other, and set the cam on them. Set the retainer on (really sucks if you forget to), set the gear on, and press it on until it hits the shoulder on the cam. I have a piece of heavy wall tubing that the ID is just a little larger than the OD of the cam snout that I set on the gear to press against because the snout sticks thru the gear just a little. Also it puts the load on the gear right in the center, not out at the edges. The worst part is lining the slot on the gear up with the locating pin on the cam. That always makes me a little nervous, but the gear presses on slowly enough you can watch it and make sure everything is kosher. [/QUOTE]
