Well, bought myself a torch and gave the tensioner arm some heat. Protected/shielded the surrounding area, including the various front end seals with aluminum foil. That's all I could think to do. The torch is not as exact as one might hope.
Either I didn't heat it enough, or it's simply not working. I tend to think I probably should heat it more. It definitely got hot, and I held the torch on it for probably 30-40 seconds...maybe a little longer. It honestly made me quite nervous. I know the engine gets hot during use, but I'm still nervous using this torch. It's my first time doing this. I mean I've done some welding/torch cutting in the distant past, but that was on stuff that wasn't a Porsche engine. So, any advice would be welcome.
Hit it with the heat, then used the pry bar while tapping the pin with a small ball peen hammer. It didn't budge a micrometer.
