The new gear should have installation instructions with it. To install the aluminum gear you need to heat it hot enough to burn your fingers and it should go on without a press. Using a press will shave off metal you need for the interference fit. Most guys either heat in an oven or on a hotplate. A propane torch will work in a pinch, but isn't recommended. Let it air cool after assembly.

There is supposed to be a specific gap between the gear and the plate, but I don't have a manual at work and can't remember what it is.
