I have always found these to be a PITA to install. I have tried installing the rear bearings after freezing them and cant see any difference.
If expansion and contraction are proportional to the temperature then dry ice at -109 F should make a big difference. Used in combination of putting the 911 front hub in the oven at 250-300 degrees I am hoping the races will drop right in. Anyone tried it or have an easy method without the proper too size puller tools? |
