Be sure the gear mounting surface is clean and free of oil, dirt, or debris.
Use a leather hammer to install the camshaft gear key.
NOTE: If the same camshaft and gear are used again, use the same part number key as the one that was removed. Be sure the arrow on the key is pointing in the same direction as when it was removed. If a different camshaft and gear are used, install a straight key.

Heat the gear in an oven for a minimum of 1 hour, but no longer than 6 hours.
