Pretty sure... I believe in this case the hole would expand "out word", as the whole part would grow... Freeze the crank and heat the flywheel.... kinda hard to freeze the crank though

The webbing on the flywheel is big enough that it might expand inward, but it wouldn't in a traditional sense of press fitting something on... Would think it would be just like pressing a bearing into an engine case, i.e. heat the case and freeze the bearing...In any event, I always use the bolts to suck 'em on to the crank

Later buddy,

If something ain't worth doing right, it ain't worth doing...

Whoever thought working on a Lotus is hard, clearly hasn't tried it. Pick up a wrench and get some grease under your nails
