Putting on a crown gear

[King_berald]

gday guys...halfway through putting a minispool in my car and im trying to put the crown gear on the housing....what is the easiest way to do this? i assume you cant hit the crap outa the teeth...or am i wrong?

need a press really unless you a got a vice big enough to fit it in. Also its a bit of a pain as you have to try n line up bolt holes perfect took me 3 tries 1st time i done it to get it right

Rubber mallet. Line up the holes. Then slowly hit the crown gear down. Opposites sides (like tightening wheel nuts)
Take your time with it, small firm hits.

DON'T HIT THE CROWN WHEEL TEETH WITH A HAMMER!!

Very bad idea, wrap the crownwheel in foil and put it in the oven at 100degrees for 10-15minutes (or until golden brown). A diff shop would use a hot oil bath for even heat, but an oven will work. After it is heated and more malleable, it will slip right on.
