Abstract:
1. A method comprising: locating a first lobe member of a camshaft on a first shaft, the first shaft including an annular wall defining a first bore and a first outer radial surface, the first lobe member including a second bore, the locating including the first shaft being located within the second bore; locating a second lobe member of the camshaft on the first shaft; forcing a first deforming member having a first outer diameter through the first bore, the first outer diameter being greater than an initial inner diameter of the first shaft defined by the first bore and the forcing displacing the annular wall in an outward radial direction and providing a first engagement between the first outer radial surface and the second bore; and forcing a second deforming member having a second outer diameter through the first bore, the second outer diameter being greater than the first outer diameter and the forcing the second deforming member displacing the annular wall in the outward radial direction and providing a second engagement between the first outer radial surface and the second bore, the second lobe member being supported on the first shaft for rotation relative to the first shaft after the forcing the second deforming member.
