Re: Torch for loosening yer nuts
You heat up the nut primarily, but the whole thing gets red hot. I have
wondered why it works if the entire thing gets redhot (eliminates heat-expand
thing pretty much) but it does. They get really easy to move. I use the
torch to remove all things like that, after penetrating oil. I would rather
be safe than break things off and have to drill/tap. The torch is great for
getting old brake bleeders lose too, just be careful of torching rubber seals
and dust boots, then replace them their cheap.
