Guys, I know you all mean well, but this ''Flywheel in the freezer'' 
stuff is just a waste of time and freezer space. There is absolutely no 
reason to freeze the flywheel.

All you do is simply put the flywheel on a flat surface, use a rose bud 
tip on a torch, go around the ring gear with the heat, the ring swells 
up, drops right onto the flywheel .No freezing needed ever. When the 
piece colls the ring gear shrinks back to size and is ''pressed'' onto 
the flywheel.

This is the same identical method used to shrink Tyres onto wooden wagon 
wheels. The wagon wheels never needed freezing and neither does a 
flywheel. To those that got taught this freeze method, you just got 
taught the wrong thing. You will hardly shrink the heavy flywheel with 
the cold, but the ring gear will swell so large that when it is next to 
the flywheel[on top being heated] you can see it grow. This expansion is 
what allows the ring gear to slide on, the frozen flywheel does very 
little and in fact is not much help at all. If you think it helps, go 
for it, but you are wasting the time it is in the freezer, you could 
have installed the gear and had the piece back on the engine in a lot 
less time than the piece will be in the freezer..

Try it, you'll like it.
