What's wrong with the torch method? It's worked flawless for me every time. The gear is really soft, and I was always worried about dinging up the teeth if the pipe moved on me.
Heat / torches are used to install press fit hubs onto shafts in industry every day for good reason. More than one way to skin a cat though....
To the OP: If you are heating to 450 deg in an oven, you probably will not need the hammer - just pliers. It's not that tight of a press fit.
