Aluminum expands twice as much as steel when heated. 450 degree oven should make the hole a bit larger than the sleeve.

It took about five to ten minutes and that's it :side: I cleaned it for the most part so it could not really produce a smell:whistle:

a good bbq grill also works. it keeps you in the good graces of your spouse and leaves a nice smokey taste when your done. then you can use the dishwasher as a parts cleaner.

#1 strip parts of all rubber parts and gasket material

#2 fill dishwasher with purple power and insert parts

#3 stop halfway through to get a good soak going then restart

#4 while dishwasher is on it's drying mode, run to store and buy flowers and diamonds because you are getting caught for sure.

#5 wait till she leaves and repeat as nessessary

#6 thank her for understanding the kz obsession we are all guilty of and promise never to do dumb sh#t like this again.

(btw, never use the bathtub as a parts washer, that is just to redneck and wrong in so many ways)
someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.
