Hi Mike,
I ran this problem by Scott at Gordon's. He told me to simply put the
bearing holder in a vise and tap on the back of the outside yoke,
using a wooden block between your hammer and the yoke, to get the
shaft in. Putting the hub on will do the final pull if necessary. I
found the shaft went in rather easily. I suspect the fit is tight
enough that they practically cold weld, after they've been together
awhile, that's why they're so tough to get off. Gordon's doesn't even
have the tool to pull them in. If you want to, you can make one
yourself. You'll have to find a specialty screw and bolt place though
and get a piece of 20mm metric all-thread, a large fender washer, a
short piece of 1 1/4 inch I.D. pipe (I think even schedule 40 plastic
would be strong enough) and two or three nuts. The nuts and
all-thread should be the same thread as the Amphi shafts but if you
get them in 20mm, you should be fine.
