Abstract
A gear shaft assembly for use with a pump and a method of making the same are gear shaft of the present invention. The disclosed assembly includes a housing, a stepped shaft, and a gear rotationally disposed on the shaft. The shaft has a first end disposed in a first bore defined in the housing and a second end in threaded engagement with a second bore of the housing. A first shoulder of the shaft disposed adjacent the first end engages a portion of the housing to define a fully inserted position of the shaft. The gear is disposed on an intermediate section of the shaft between the first shoulder and a second shoulder located adjacent the second end.
