heat on bolts

Posted by Big Hunter on July 29, 2007 at 03:14:40 from (208.242.126.162):

As I was splitting the 190XT yesterday I ran into 3 bolts that didn't budge. I used an oxygen/acetylene torch to throw some heat to them. I tried heating the metal around the bolts 2 times, didn't budge, then I heated the bolts, didn't work, then I heated the bolts, waited just a little while then poured water on them to try to cool them off fast...that worked. And I must say a torch takes paint off really quick, I'm wondering why I don't see people on here taking about removing paint with a torch. Also I'm wondering is there any such thing as too much heat on cast metal. I'm trying to get the back wheels off, been soaking them for a week (as best as possible). one guy on here awhile back said he heated his wheel hubs until they were red. Was wondering what you guys think.
