Go inside to your kitchen and jack your wifes toaster oven for a bit, place the outer steel bushings your are about to press together in it at about 400 deg for 10 minutes. the heat is just enough to expand the metal a few thousands so you you can slide the brass right in without pressing it and as it cools it will shrink down to its normal size with the brass inside and no banging needed. An old mechanics trick for installing race bearings on an axle shaft.
