Step by Step!
Today we'll be using the Mini-Ductor Venom HP induction heating tool to remove a snow blower wheel that has seized to the axle.
This is a common issue on snow blowers, as the wheels get wet, rust starts to form, which results in the wheel seizing to the drive axle.
Generally, an oxy-acetylene torch would be used to heat the inside of the wheel, in hopes of expanding the metal enough, to allow the wheel to be rotated on the axle.
However, using induction heat will allow us to specifically target the area we want to heat, and will also prevent us from having to use an open flame. Using a torch will only heat the side the flame is applied to, and the flame will deflect off the surface, heating other areas that aren't supposed to be heated. This can result in damage to the rubber valve stem, tire, and other parts of the wheel.
