rebuilding my 2 tooth box, my shop press doesnt have a tall enough stand height to r&r the worm gear, so in doing a search i found a couple guys tapped the shaft to 5/8 and used a grade 8 allthread to pull it on. my results were that i tapped the shaft about 1" ---5/8th and used a grade 8 bolt flat and lock washers to press it back. i had to cut another 1/2" of threads on the bolt to accomodate the nut. it worked beautiful and to pull it off i used my snap on bearing puller set. thanks to all that had posted previously on this subject.
