Thanks for the video Damir. I have one question. I have seen and done this before but it was always heat it up and beat on it until it comes free. You were using a thermometer and I’m just wondering what temperatures you’re looking for.

Hello and thanks for watching. I usually shoot for 250F/120C and with that it does require a bit of hammering to bring the cassette out. During assembly, I heat up the case in oven at 275F/135C and at that temperature bearings slide in more easily. So, if you would like to avoid hammering, that temperature would be appropriate and safe. Hope this helps.
