David,
Thank you for the info. However, after spending a few hours researching this I think I will still heat up the hubs before removing/installing the races and ever so gently drive the races straight in w/ a race installer after the aluminum has expanded a bit to make it easier. I come to this conclusion after reading a snippet of a Rennlist posting by Bruce A. Carr (works for eBearing) per ChrisBennet on PelicanParts (see
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showt...threadid=57441) which, IMHO, makes more sense to at least loosen up the hub's race seat via thermal expansion before removal/install to maintain the original tolerances of this finely machined German part (& why these parts are so expensive). Yes, I'm talking about 1000ths of an inch here but hey, I'd rather take the extra step to do it right. I can't imagine a gas station/hub press shop taking the time to heat the hubs up first (...them Porsh are just like my Chevy pick-em-up truck ain't they?) so I'll do it the right way myself.
