^ I use a piece of 1" steel plate on a hot plate, Ford showed using a torch. After it gets good and hot I take the race out of the freezer and it drops right in.
Oh and I heat the bearings in oil or on a 100 watt bulb under a coffee can setup we have. Esp the bearings that go on the carrier, the fewer times pressing then on or off the better in my OP.
