Helps a bit putting the shaft in the freezer and heating the bearing a retainer a bit.

Do keep everything ready like a proper long enough piece of tube that fits, and a large persuader (hammer) at hand, because as soon as the retainer touches the cold shaft it will cool down fast. Mine got stuck half way down and needed serious force to come all the way down on the shaft.
remember to let it cool to normal temp before you insert it into the new sealing.

Sounds like the best way to do this!
Be careful not to overheat the coffee though

Just buy a press or pay someone with a press a nominal fee to do it for you.

It is easy to forget when you are excited to try out something like a new press
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
