Fail!!!!!!!!

MOTHERFFFFFFFFFFFkRRRRRR

Went to the home creepshow and picked up MAPP gas torch. Mucho better at heating the case. It was pretty fking hot because water pooled around the area was boiling. I was able to move the stud out some more...first 3 or four threads are now showing, but damn it that thing is fighting me hard. Kept working at it for an hour or so, but my hands are now swollen to hell and hurting badly. The freaking double nut keeps walking on me, so I torqued it to 80ftlbs according to me big torque wrench, and it still walks before the stud unscrews. Gawd I hate this crap.
