Go on the Eastwood site and they sell a kit and then all you need is an electric oven 400 for an hour or so not rocket science!

LOL reminds me of the time a mechanic told me to heat the new final drive chain in some oil for 10 minutes...all was cool til the wife got a wiff of the 20w50 cooking in the oven. Give it to a professional.
