you need a 7/16" threaded rod, Large washers, I used a stepped proceedure, to start small and work up to the hub, and 2 nuts to thread on.
Once the hub is at least on the crank snout, sink the rod down to the crank bottom, put the washers on, keep them even and level, almost like a pyramid, then a nut to slowly draw the hub on the crank, use oil to help.
I got the rod at a speciality place, it only needs to be 6" max and fine thread of course.

Do NOT use a mallet for this or the front main bearing may get damaged.

You dont beat the hub on, you push it on with a nut on a threaded rod. You use the treaded rod as a stud in the crank. Then use the nut and spacer to push or pull, however you look at, the hub on the crank. Dont use the stock bolt or you'll damage the crank threads. I would not beat it on either. Get the correct tools.

Yep, then I back it out 1/4 to a 1/2 of a turn!
