Fire up the barbeque grill and let it cook for an hour or so. Drink beer. Set the flywheel on two pieces of railroad iron, center the hot gear and tap it on. May take another buddy to keep it centered and don"t get too heavy with the hammer. Drink more beer and admire the job. Ford says to cool it quick to retain temper in the teeth and shrink the ring to the flywheel. Drink more beer.

 Re: flywheel ring gear /Hey, Hobo-Read FO-4 Manual in reply to Hobo,NC, 01-14-2007 16:57:40  
Hobo, read pg.36, Section 44 in FO-4 Manual. It says " Quickly install the heated ring gear on the flywheel, then quench the gear teeth with water to obtain a shrink fit." This says nothing about the temper. Also , I agree it is not necessary to add water to shrink fit, just let it cool first before moving, right?

I am always open to ideas and often wonder about the grill. My grill will git 700 plus but most only do 425 or so. I do use the grill to heat up differential ring gears before I install’em on the carrier, makes em smell like chicken. I sit it at 400 fer 30min. on the diff deal. The last few flywheel ring gears expanded a mite quick fer me, I am sure it wuz not the heat and the steel. I do not like to tap one on I soon as see it fall on. I kin not say fer sure it makes enny difference cuzz I have never had a problem either way.

I have a friend that tells me he props up the ring gear and pours fuel oil around the circle on the ground and lites it up once it burns down he izz able to install the ring gear. I ask why fuel oil and he said it burns longer and has more BTU’s Dunno but he does come up wif sum neat ideas and a rite smart guy. I invited’em over fer sum chick’in wings cooked on a grill today cuzz I injoy hiz take on how to do things. He operates a saw mill fer a living and always has sum’in tore up and figgers out a way to make replacement parts fer the olds mill. If you ever come into my shop all the wire’in izz run in condurent, He did it all. He took the time to teach my son how to do all the crazy bends and such. He’s a born teacher with a nac fer it. I would never have the patients to do that.

Long time ago on another planet I once watched an old mechanic pour some gasoline into the back side of an old car wheel then lay a ring gear on the wheel and light the gasoline. When it had burned for a few minutes he picked it up with a pair of common pliers. (Vice Grips had not been invented!) (I'm old!) He dropped the ring gear over the flywheel and it clamped right onto it. Picked the flywheel up and took it back in the shop!

He's been dead for 50 years.
