HOPE Hub Seized End Cap Removal Option

[@oquefizhoje]

I am woundering if freezing the endcap would have a best result because ice can contract de metal and turn it loose... hot water dilated the metal turn it even more tighter. But for you heating the metal turn it loose... how come?

The issue of freezing is that there's a rubber o ring inside the end up and rubber can become brittle when frozen. I doubt the rubber gets hot enough to cause it damage when using this hot water method. I guess this method works because the axle that the end cap is stuck on is much bigger than the end cap. So the axle can absorb more heat before it expands, meaning the axle probably doesn't expand in the heat and the end cap does when using this method.
