If you're looking into those hulls a rip may be a good option tooLol just trying to get someone on the hook for the hull for the end of the season.. Givin people some time to save - and knowledge that its out there. It is a lot of money to save for! I got some people interested.

Problem with heating it up is that even if you put the flywheel in the freezer with the ring gear on it the flywheel itself; the aluminum itself would heat up faster than the actual ring gear as its a different material.
Even though your heating up the ring gear, the aluminum would heat up faster.
It would work the other way around though, like if the ring gear was heated up separately and the flywheel with no ring gear on it was cold. - No heat transfer.

It's not that one metal heats up faster than the other, it's that aluminum expands more when heated.

I know for a fact that this works, as I did this exact thing to remove mine. If you go around just the ring gear with a torch, of course it's going to expand faster than the aluminum that is just absorbing heat from the ring gear. My ring gear fell off without using any mechanical pressure at all, I just made sure that I let gravity do that part once the ring gear expanded enough.

Weird, it worked great for me. I guess it doesn't always work.

I tried to angle the torch to keep the flame away from the aluminum, but the aluminum still heated up as fast, if not faster than, the steel.
I thought about a bag of ice water sitting in the flywheel to keep the center cold, but I didn't have that kind of time to keep messing with it last night.

@speedysprocket aluminum cools quickly as well maybe if you heat it up and then quench the aluminum with the bag of ice it will contract enough to slide off

Aluminum definitely heats up faster then steel, that is why when welding (tig welding) aluminum everything happens so fast. Why do u think a lot of the newer cars AND our skis have blocks made out of aluminum instead of cast? (unlike older vehicles) It dissipates heat transfer faster then other metal.
So no matter how much u heat up that ring the aluminum will heat up fairly quicker and expand three times as much.

Whatever way works for you guys, i have a 30 ton press at my disposal so i do things differently. Rarely ever need to heat things up except for crank bearings to put them on properly and some bushings.
Didnt have to use heat for mike davies midshaft had to get the coupler off yesterday.. Put it in the press side ways, with aluminum blocks on each side with some coarse valve grinding compound and it didnt turn. Got a huge prybar and got some leverage on it and it came off easily.
Just gotta do whats best for you and the tools you have
