installing AD3 152 sleeves

dacaseguy · Dec 25, 2016

I have heard on here about using dry ice to install the sleeves, but I'm not sure I can find any dry ice around here. If I have them in the freezer overnight will that work? Our daytime temps are in the 20-30's right now. I thought I would leave a heat lamp on the block. Dick

Sleaves in the deep freeze and a very warm block helps a lot.

We remove and install them with a long stroke hydraulic press.No need to chill them.

Around here in MO. many [some] grocery stores sell dry ice. You might check all your stores.

I used the freezer on the sleeves and heat lamp on the block and it worked fine. Place a wood block on the sleeve and carefully tap them in. They're very thin so I wouldn't recommend using a press.
