A method and apparatus for pressing a gear (30) or the like onto a shaft (45). A pressing actuator (130) has a fixed portion (131) and a movable actuator rod (145) for engaging a face (31) of the gear. The actuator rod moves through and is concentric with the pressing sleeve (100). An actuator rod adapter (155) and a shaft adapter (185) attach the shaft to the actuator rod. When the actuator rod is retracted within the actuator body, the shaft is pulled through a shaft bore in the gear by the actuator rod, the actuator rod adpater and the shaft adapter while the gear is held stationary with respect to the actuator fixed portion by the pressing sleeve, thus pressing the gear onto the shaft. |
