Using liquid nitrogen at -195 Celsius, an interference fit bushing is cooled to allow for an easier fit into a wing attach fitting. The cooling will cause the bushing to shrink in size very slightly. The amount of shrinkage will have to do with the material's coefficient of expansion (the reverse in this case).
