Abstract
A method of assembling mating components includes the steps of heating an inner surface of a first cavity of a first part to generate a first expansion, heating an outer surface of a component surrounding an outer periphery of the first part to generate a second expansion of the component that corresponds to the first expansion of the first part, inserting a second part into the first cavity while the first part is in an expanded condition, and cooling the first part to contract around the second part.
