Reply to "How to replace the drive gear of an MTH tinplate locomotive?"

Sockets and vise.  While I had a lionel press I never used it.  I do all my work with the bench vise and various sockets and broken drill bit to press wheels, and gears.  Punching is not the method to use.  I do use the flywheel and wheel puller that Timko makes, but the internal gear swaps and such are just basic tools and the vise.  C clips and flat steel can be used as spacer if needed.  G
