I wouldn't use a mallet!!! You risk damaging the bearings by the high impact lateral blows of the mallet.
If you have two of the consumer level Phil tools (which you typically need to install any Phil unit), and a vise, you're golden. Secure the end of the square taper spindle that you want to slide toward the cartridge (the NDS in this case) in a vise with the BB situated vertically. Stack two Phil tools onto the DS spindle end. If the end of the spindle sticks above the top of the Phil tools, throw on some large washers or spacers or whatever to the stack. It's critical that the spindle is below the stack of spacers/tools/etc. Thread in a standard crank bolt into the spindle. When the bolt head meets the spacer stack, keep threading (it will get tight). As it threads with resistance into the spindle it will force the cartridge downward relative to the spindle. Voila!
