DURING OPERATION.
(b)
Permit the temperature of the brake housing bushing to become approximately 250°F. 1) Use the thermometer to measure the temperature of the brake
housing bushing. 2) As the temperature of the brake bushing increases, slowly and continuously increase the tension on the puller.
(c)
When the brake housing bushing starts to move, remove the electrical heat blanket. 1) If the brake housing bushing does not move, add more dry
ice to the inner diameter of the axle.
NOTE: You must remove the axle sleeve puller to add more
____ dry ice to the axle.

(10)
Decrease the temperature of the axle for the removal of the axle sleeve:
NOTE: The cold temperature will decrease the axle diameter.
____ When you subsequently apply heat to the axle sleeve, the fit between the axle sleeve and the axle will loosen.

WARNING:_______ DO NOT GET THE DRY ICE ON YOUR SKIN. THE DRY ICE IS
FROZEN CARBON DIOXIDE AT A TEMPERATURE OF
APPROXIMATELY -120°F. THE COLD TEMPERATURE OF THE CARBON
DIOXIDE CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS.
(a) Fill the inner diameter of the axle with the dry ice.
NOTE: When the steam from the dry ice almost stops, the axle
____ temperature will be near the temperature of the dry ice (-120°F). This is the recommended condition.
(b) Add more dry ice to the inner diameter of the axle before you install the axle sleeve puller.
NOTE: This will keep the axle at a constant temperature when
____ you apply heat to the axle sleeve.

Increase the temperature of the axle sleeve:
(a)
Install the electrical heat blanket around the axle sleeve (Fig. 401, View B).
CAUTION: DO NOT PERMIT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AXLE COMPONENTS TO
_______ BECOME 300°F FOR MORE THAN 180 MINUTES. THE MATERIALS FOR THE AXLE COMPONENTS CAN BECOME WEAK IF THE THERMAL LOADS ARE TOO LARGE. WEAK AXLE COMPONENTS CAN HAVE A FAILURE DURING OPERATION.
(b)
Permit the temperature of the axle sleeve to become approximately 250°F. 1) Use the thermometer to measure the temperature of the axle
sleeve. 2) As the temperature of the axle sleeve increases, slowly and continuously increase the tension on the puller.
(c)
When the axle sleeve starts to move, remove the electrical heat blanket. 1) If the axle sleeve does not move, add more dry ice to the
inner diameter of the axle.
