Title: things i've learnt today..........
Post by: sadlonelygit on 16 May 2012, 03:54:48 pm

.............ALWAYS!! ALWAYS!! wear foccing thick gloves when taking out a bearing race from the oven at @200c.

bearing races cool down VERY quickly when placed onto a frozen steering stem.

it helps to have a mate with a press when things go horribly wrong.

here endeth the lesson

it's hard juggling a race in one hand, as more and more heat goes through the glove every time it touches..........and yes, i do have welding gloves lurking around somewhere.
