I packed ice around my crank end and heated the distributor gear to put it on. I got it on about a quarter inch before it stopped and everything wound up the same temperature. I wound up pressing it on the rest of the way.

I had a prop hub on my 1835 Gilbert Duty VW engine. I had to heat it up in the kitchen oven and take a torch to the crank to get it warm, just warm. I took it out of the oven and ran downstairs as fast as I could and beat it on with a soft ended hammer.
