    AvE is like that old grandpa we all know who knows everything- but without being old. That dude has taught me a lot over time. Next time I'm in Canada I should be all "Eh, you know that Arduino vs. Everything dude? Where's he at?"


    I owe that dude a Molson or three.

    Was never aware that you can microwave the bearings like that . Id like to try it one day , has anyone tried it on the forum ?. Have been freezing the outer rings (cup) for steering head bearings and swing arm bearings for ages , so that's cool. But i still cant get my head around the microwave trick :idk:.

    yeah the trick was the wet cloth which absorbs the microwaves and heats the bearing - don't do it without the cloth

    I haven't yet tried it, to date my most exotic ingredients microwaved are CD/DVD's and a bunch of eggs in an about to go out the door model...

    But there was that time we put propane & oxygen mix into a coke bottle and add the foil wrapper from chicken stock - hit cook and RUN!!!

    Doing the bearing trick is no risk to the microwave and not hazardous

    I've always used an old oven for that purpose. Never heard of the microwave though.

    Also have used an oven to do jobs with , last one was a montesa Cota 247 T O.E muffler assembly. Baked on the gloss black VHT paint , the finished job looked really good.

    That's cheating !. The guide lines are that you must use a domestic oven that has window that you can see the part's baking inside. Sorry buddy , but how can you see a cake rise with that oven :D ?.

    That's fair enough and a honest reason :thumb_ups:. Iv'e repaired so many stoves it's not funny back in the days. Actually i could use an old stove when operation SRX 250 kicks in.

    I've seen LARGE (11" dia. shaft) bearings heated in a propane barb-q. The company built huge fans and blowers for mines, agriculture, and steel mills. With the huge sums of money they charged, you'd think they would get a little more civilized and buy an induction heater.
