How hot can you get the gear before you have to worry about any heat treating it may have? I'm just wondering if the technique I used with my lawn mower flywheel would work. I cranked up the gear puller, then took my plumbers torch to the flywheel. After about a minute the flywheel popped loose. |

Kinda complicated because this is dependent on the amount of carbon in the iron / steel. In general, you will not impact hardness if you stay under 1000 degrees F. See this paper for more detail: http://www.heat-treat-doctor.com/docume ... tIrons.pdf DD |

I agree there is no one magic threshold temperature, but physical properties start to change I believe as the material approaches 700F.
