Exactly my point... the inner race is smaller than the outside.
Last time I checked, the bottom axles of the sector gear and bevel gear didn't have a diameter greater than 8mm, and neither do the top axles of the spur gear and sector gear - so I don't see how the gear would bear any pressure on the OUTER casing...
By striking the gear's axle against the bearing, you're essentially transferring the force on to the bearing's inner race and relying on that force to press the entire bearing in? Great way to split the bearings...
