Temperature to Press Fit Parts

I heated the parts that need to be press fitted to 250° F (used a toaster oven).

This temp worked well and expanded the races (and end bearings) just enough to allow them to slide right onto the shafts.

I'm not sure what you mean with the rest of your question. The 4th and 3rd gears are splined / fixed, and slide directly onto the splined pinion shaft - they don't have a race or needle bearing.
