Put the pinion in the freezer overnight. A few minutes before you need to put the bearings on, put the bearings in boiling water. Get a good glove on and push the bearing on by hand.
As for assembly, forget crush sleeves, use a solid pinion spacer. You need a good torque wrench that reads in inch-lbs to set the pinion bearing drag. You'll also need to learn how to read gear paint...if it's not right the gears will make noise.
