doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Have frozen many a piece to put into other things. Bearings, bushings, liners, etc. Freezer is great. Used to have a spray called "Minus 96" that we used to chill parts. A heat lamp inside the receiving casting also can help open up the receiving end of the deal. Welding inside the old part definitely helps remove it. Had to pull a 36" bearing race out once. Ran a MIG bead around the inside of it. Once it cooled, it practically fell out. Constantly using temperature differential to make things come apart or go together. Metal moves a LOT when it heats and cools. Just be sure to use enough, so you don't get stuck half-way in! That kinda sucks! These guys are all giving good advice, and on the same specific subject. I would trust them! 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
