Use heat or cold?

Old brain can't remember. I have a small connecting rod, for my Saws-All, that I have to press a new bushing into. It's a real tight fit. Do I heat the connecting rod and freeze the bushing or freeze the connecting rod and heat the bushing to make it go in easier?

Always try the easiest thing first.

Heat expands the item

Cold contracts the item
