Thanks Anthony

I use loctite press fit assist on anything that has dissimilar metals and is pressed together (steel into aluminum,metal clad seals into aluminum,etc) to help ensure it doesn't get loose when warmed up/cooled down. The stuff is still removable though without heat so its not a big deal to dissassemble,Smitty

I have the same bearing puller from Randy's. It is way better than a press, but it is a little pricey if you rarely use it.
Here is a link.
