I wonder if Tracy's reduction uses any components that rely on a heated
press fit for retention. Lynn;

Rear seal is retained with a bolted flange. I don't think there is
anything
relying on heated press fit.

The rear seal in my plate is a press fit (RD1C).  It's tight, so I don't
think there is any need for heat to keep it in.

Oops; rear seal in a pusher is the one nearest the prop hub.  Yes, on the
other end is a stiff elastomer seal pressed into a recess in the mounting
plate.  I don't think that one is going anywhere.
