[QUOTE="Zenith, post: 1006007, member: 21314"] Yes the outside of the aluminium linkage in the general vacinity of the shells you are taking out. This will cause the aluminium linkage to expand more then the shell, allowing the shell come out easier. When putting the new bearings in if you freeze the bearings over night and heat the linkage before installing them you'll make it MUCH easier (frozen bearings shrink, heated linkage expands and voila!). Excessive heating of the linkage will damage it, but it takes quite a bit of heat to do this. I usually heat it for about a minute on a fairly strong flame from a small butane torch. I was told before one way to make sure you don't heat it too much is hold a piece of wood against the aluminium, if it starts smoking don't heat it anymore. Not sure how accurate that is though :)...
