Hey Mark did you use a torch as well or just the tool and the freezer trick?
My hubs were next to some tikka masala from Trader Joes, but I wasn't sure this would do help so I moved them into an empty ice tray across from the frozen chicken.. maybe I should get some Braunschweiger and throw that in.. since it's spreadable and all... |

Use "swanson" pot pies only... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Just freezing the bearings worked great for me. Just pull out one bearing at a time out of the freezer. Torching the hubs probably would help, but no personal experience. In my case the freezer was the trick. |

I was also told that you should put some oil between the surfaces, because when the parts go back to the normal temps you'll trap some condensation in there...

QUOTE(sww914 @ Sep 29 2008, 11:54 PM) If your wife grows accustomed to hubs in the freezer and maybe grease rags in the washing machine it will make it easier when she comes home early to bust you with an engine case in the dishwasher. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) The wife came home early when I was heating up a cam gear on the stove in a pot of 30 weight. I still have the pot in the garage. I never could get the oil stains out of it. Took a few days to get the smell out of the kitchen. |

I use a white scotchbrite disc on a roloc to polish the bearing and hub races, it helps.
