Put the gear into an oven at 250-300 degrees for 1/2 hour, then use welding gloves and a dead blow mallet to install it instead of a press. Just handle it quickly, as it will begin to shrink as soon as it contacts the camshaft hub. Don't forget to install the thrust plate first! I've also done the heating with a Propane torch right at the workbench by placing the gear on a piece of steel plate and heating inside the bore hole until a drop of water flashes to steam instantly when it's dripped onto the gear at the outer edge.
