I bought a set like this for my model train work, and find they come in 
handy for a lot of things.  Make sure you get a quality set.

        <div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">I had a similar
          difficulty. Since it would go part way on I concluded that the
          either the splines on the shaft or in the hub or both were the
          issue. I used a very small triangular file, available in some
          hobby stores, and spent some time "cleaning" both the shaft
          &amp; the hub splines until I got them to slide together
          smoothly. The file needs to be tapered to a very fine point
          &amp; I recall using only the tip portion to be sure I was not
          rounding off the top/tip of the splines. Clean the filings out
          periodically &amp; test the fit.
