Listen up JW you might even learn something. (an aside, do you know how unprofessional it is to begin any discussion with things like "you are wrong" and other personal attacks that are unrelated to the discussion? Didn't your mother teach you any manners? reflect on my last answer to you for a bit..see what I mean? .. and I know I did it again in the beginning of this post but it is to make a point. anyway back to the discussion) I have been talking about BREAKING the loctite bond. When the bolt is heated to some high temp, but not enough to break the bond, it does soften up the epoxy or loctite a bit which helps a little. In fact if the bond isn't broken and the bolt is allowed to cool the loctite may become even harder to bust than it was in the first place even when reheated to the same temperature. But if you heat it up to the point where the BOND is broken the bolt will come out very very easily in comparison to heating and not breaking the bond. How hot is this, I do not remember the number but I usually heat the bolt till it is visibly red in the daylight, thats HOT, it may even be overkill but its simple. Let it cool and then remove the bolt. I do not heat aluminum or mag directly because like I said earlier they do not change color before they melt, and you DO NOT WANT TO MELT YOUR CASE or even worse light off a Mag case.
THe process is fairly safe on flywheel bolts and anything not in contact with Aluminum directly, like I said earlier its a little scary on the case but still works ok if you are carefull.
