Brute:
In the motor shop we had a furnace that was running about 700 degrees nearly all the time. Pop the bearings in for 15-20 minutes. Otherwise we had torches and a couple nice presses and adapters for putting them on.

Thanks Brute.
I read this thread when it was originally posted.

I forgot about it till Motorrad reminded me of it.
If I read it correctly, the conclusion was is the seals for the 500 were a two part composite.
Viton being the part that makes contact with the crank and a standard material that makes up the rest, but ... what was that standard part made from?
Viton has a working temp from -15° to +400°F.
Knowing what the Standard material is would let us know what we could heat them too without any troubles.
So.... We may have to do some further testing...
Unless someone knows what that standard material is?
