I will tell you the same thing I used to tell my apprentices... installation is reverse order of removal! But seeing the amount of difficulty you had maybe not!
Put the long shaft with the small bearing and screw (loctited) in first, then tap the pinion with the larger bearing in place carefully checking free play in multiple points until happy. Seat circlip and recheck. Should all spin by finger very easily.
