RE: Press fits
The assembly of a press fit will involve either heating of the hole to enlarge it or cooling of the pin to shrink it prior to assembly. Some people will simply jam the pin in, but that's usually not the way to go.
To diassemble may be a tougher issue. It is usually very difficult to heat only the hole and not the pin to facilitate enlargment of the hole. You can try it, but depending on how much material is around the pin and if the pin and hole are different materials, you may not have any luck doing that. If it is simply something pressed on to a shaft then you should have good luck in that case. If it is a pin pressed into a hole, you may have to consider having the pin drilled out.
