Smart move to use the grille. It worked perfectfully.

Another way to remove the old gear is to take a chisel and split the gear between two teeth. When you use the grill to heat the new one , you have the added benefit of being able to cook lunch at the same time.

Burgers and high carbon steel!

Great idea using the grill to heat the ring gear, no doubt it heats more evenly than a torch. What a clever guy!!

[@vernonearl]

It also doesn't pull the carbon out of the steel the way a torch would.

Tried it on the grill and it was not hot enough. (Grill too small) I did make a bed of coals in my fire pit and that worked perfectly.
